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 commencing October 1, 2026 and ending September 30, 2027. The ordinance was adopted on July 21, 2026, after being deferred from June 16, 2026, and adopted on first reading on May 5, 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. The Parks, Recreation and Open Spaces Department (PROS) determined that services provided by these districts will offer special benefits to properties within each district, exceeding the amount of special assessments to be levied. Failure to approve these rates may result in suspension of services or accrued interest applied for lack of payment to the utility company. Public comment sentiment is not stated in the document.
