SPTX RATES - INCREASE STREET LIGHTING

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

This legislative matter concerns an ordinance to approve, adopt, and ratify non-ad valorem assessment rolls and rates for 219 street lighting special taxing districts in Miami-Dade County for the fiscal year October 1, 2026, to September 30, 2027. The proposed ordinance relates to rate increases for these districts, totaling $1,984,910 across 24,890 folios, with 23,565 folios seeing an increase of less than $50.00. The increases are attributed to utility rate hikes, inflationary costs, and depleted developer deposits. The item was adopted on first reading on May 5, 2026. It was subsequently deferred by the Board of County Commissioners on June 2, 2026, and again on June 16, 2026, with a pending assignment for the July 21, 2026 Board meeting. No public comment is detailed in this document, but the background mentions that affected property owners are notified and have the opportunity to present objections at public hearings.
