2026 CHARTER AMENDMENT (BOUNDARY COMMISSION)

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

Miami-Dade County is holding a countywide special election on November 3, 2026, to vote on amending the Home Rule Charter to establish a Boundary Commission for annexations and incorporations. This proposal stems from recommendations by a Charter Review Task Force. The election will be held in conjunction with the general election. The ballot question asks if the charter should be amended to create this commission, which would evaluate proposed annexations and incorporations on a three-year cycle and provide recommendations, replacing the Planning Advisory Board's role in this area and setting new procedures for petitions, public hearings, and approvals. The resolution was introduced on 6/26/2026, forwarded to the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) with a favorable recommendation on 7/13/2026, and advanced to the BCC meeting on 7/21/2026. No public comment is stated in this document.
