SOLID WASTE FY 26-27 FLAT FEE

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

Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners is considering an ordinance to approve, adopt, and ratify non-ad valorem assessment rolls, rates, and assessments for Solid Waste Collection Services for Fiscal Year 2026-27, commencing October 1, 2026. The proposed ordinance maintains existing rates, with no increase from Fiscal Year 2025-26. The typical full-service residential household assessment will remain $702 annually. This action is required to authorize the Department of Solid Waste Management to continue collecting these assessments through the annual property tax bill. A previous proposal for a 2% Consumer Price Index adjustment was not approved on May 5, 2026. The ordinance will be excluded from the Miami-Dade County Code. Service reductions are anticipated to be implemented on October 1, 2026, which are expected to have a measurable social equity burden affecting all customers equally based on their service level. The ordinance was adopted on first reading on June 16, 2026, and a public hearing is scheduled for July 21, 2026.
