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 commission would evaluate proposed annexations and incorporations on a three-year cycle and provide recommendations. 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. The Policy Council recommended forwarding the resolution to the BCC with a correction to a resolution number. The question will appear on the ballot as 'Shall the Charter be amended to establish a Boundary Commission to review and make recommendations on municipal boundary changes and incorporations, replacing the Planning Advisory Board s role, and to set new procedures and requirements for petitions, public hearings, and approvals related to boundary changes and the creation of new municipalities, including specific thresholds for elector and non-residential property owner consent, and a collective three-year review process for proposals?'.
