2026 CHARTER AMENDMENT (BOUNDARY COMMISSION)

Policy Council · 2026-07-13 · 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 commission would evaluate proposed annexations and incorporations on a three-year cycle and provide recommendations. The proposal stems from a Charter Review Task Force recommendation. The election will be held in conjunction with the general election. The specific question on the ballot asks if the Charter should be amended to establish this commission, replacing the Planning Advisory Board's role in boundary changes and setting new procedures for petitions, public hearings, and approvals, including thresholds for elector and non-residential property owner consent.
