SPTX RATES - INCREASE STREET LIGHTING

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

This legislative matter concerns an ordinance to approve, adopt, and ratify non-ad valorem assessment rolls, rates, and assessments for 219 street lighting special taxing districts in Miami-Dade County for the fiscal year October 1, 2026, to September 30, 2027. The ordinance relates to rate increases for these districts, totaling $1,984,910 across 24,890 folios, with 23,565 folios seeing increases of less than $50.00. The increases are attributed to utility rate hikes, inflationary costs, and depleted developer deposits. The item was adopted on first reading on May 5, 2026, and was deferred by the Board of County Commissioners on June 2, 2026, and again on June 16, 2026, to the July 21, 2026, meeting. Public comment details are not stated in this document, but the background notes that affected property owners receive notices and that informational meetings have been held. The Parks, Recreation and Open Spaces Department (PROS) is responsible for monitoring the implementation and operation of these districts.
