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 and rates for 219 street lighting special taxing districts in Miami-Dade County for the fiscal year October 1, 2026, to September 30, 2027. The proposed ordinance relates to rate increases for these districts, totaling $1,984,910 across 24,890 folios, with 23,565 folios seeing an increase of less than $50.00 annually. The increases are attributed to utility rate hikes, inflationary costs, and depleted developer deposits. The Board of County Commissioners deferred the item multiple times, with the latest deferral to July 21, 2026. The ordinance was adopted on first reading on May 5, 2026. Public comment details are not stated in this document, but the process involved public hearings and notification to affected property owners. The Parks, Recreation and Open Spaces Department (PROS) is responsible for monitoring these districts.
