SPTX RATES - INCREASE STREET LIGHTING

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

This legislative item 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, affecting 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 matter was introduced on April 17, 2026, adopted on first reading on May 5, 2026, and subsequently deferred by the Board of County Commissioners on June 2, 2026, and again on June 16, 2026, with a final action date set for June 2, 2026, and an agenda date of July 21, 2026. The Parks, Recreation and Open Spaces Department is the requester. No public comment is detailed in this document, but the background mentions that affected property owners are notified and have the opportunity to object at public hearings.
