INCREASING SECURITY GUARD

Board of County Commissioners · 2026-06-02 · ordinance

This legislative matter concerns the adoption and ratification of non-ad valorem assessment rolls, rates, and assessments for 20 specific security guard special taxing districts in Miami-Dade County for the fiscal year October 1, 2026, to September 30, 2027. The ordinance was adopted by the Board of County Commissioners. The purpose is to fund security guard services, including contractual increases from private security companies and off-duty police, to maintain service levels. Failure to approve the rates could result in reduced service hours and unattended guard gates. The total assessment for all 20 districts with proposed rate increases is $10,490,955, affecting 5,774 folios. The assessments are levied based on special benefits to properties within each district and will be collected similarly to ad valorem taxes, with potential for property title loss if unpaid. Exhibit A, which contains the legal descriptions, units of measurement, and assessment amounts for each district, is incorporated by reference but not fully detailed in this document.
