SOLID WASTE FY 26-27 FLAT FEE

Board of County Commissioners · 2026-07-21 · ordinance

Ordinance adopting non-ad valorem assessment rolls, rates, and assessments for the Solid Waste Collection Service Area of Miami-Dade County, Florida, commencing October 1, 2026. The typical full-service residential household assessment remains $702 annually, with rates ranging from $178 for Trash and Recycling Centers only access to $702 for the highest service level. The proposed rates represent a 0% increase from Fiscal Year 2025-26, following the Board's May 5, 2026 decision not to approve a 2% Consumer Price Index adjustment. Adopted on first reading June 16, 2026, and adopted on final action July 21, 2026. The ordinance authorizes continued collection of existing rates through the property tax bill. Service reductions will be implemented on October 1, 2026, as outlined in the 'Solid Waste Service Reductions' memo (Exhibit B), anticipated to have a measurable social equity burden as all Service Area customers will be affected equally based on their level of service. No specific street address, parcel, or acreage is stated; the service area covers unincorporated Miami-Dade County and municipalities within the Service Area.
