SPTX RATES - INCREASE STREET LIGHTING

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

Ordinance approving, adopting and ratifying non-ad valorem assessment rolls, rates and assessments for 219 certain street lighting special taxing districts in Miami-Dade County, Florida for fiscal year October 1, 2026 to September 30, 2027. The ordinance was adopted on first reading on May 5, 2026, deferred on June 2, 2026 and June 16, 2026, and adopted on final action on July 21, 2026. The total assessment for these 219 districts is $1,984,910, covering 24,890 folios, of which 23,565 folios are increasing by less than $50.00 for the year. The rate increases are necessary to cover utility rate increases approved by the Public Service Commission and contractual inflationary costs. Some districts have depleted their developer deposits or carryover, and proposed rates represent the districts' true operational and administrative cost. Failure to approve rates may result in suspension of services or accrued interest. The Parks, Recreation and Open Spaces Department (PROS) determined services provide special benefits to properties within each district. The ordinance was requested by Parks, Recreation and Open Spaces. The legislative history shows the item was introduced on April 17, 2026. The document does not state specific street addresses, parcel numbers, or individual district names.
