Some districts have depleted their developer deposits or carryover, and their proposed rates represent the districts' true operational and administrative cost. Failure to approve these rates may result in suspension of services or accrued interest applied for lack of payment to the utility company. The ordinance was deferred on June 2, 2026 and June 16, 2026, adopted on first reading on May 5, 2026, and adopted on final action on July 21, 2026. The document does not state specific street addresses, parcel numbers, or legal descriptions for the districts, as those are referenced in Exhibit A which is not included in the document text.

SPTX RATES - INCREASE STREET LIGHTING

Ordinance approving, adopting and ratifying non-ad valorem assessment rolls, rates and assessments for 219 certain street lighting special taxing districts in Miami-Dade County, Florida for the fiscal year commencing October 1, 2026 and ending September 30, 2027. The ordinance was adopted on final action on July 21, 2026. The total assessment for these 219 districts with proposed rate increases is $1,984,910. These 219 districts consist of 24,890 folios, of which 23,565 folios are increasing by less than $50.00 for the year. The ordinance relates to rates for 219 districts that are increasing, out of 957 active Street Lighting Special Taxing Districts. The proposed rate increases are necessary to cover utility rate increases approved by the Public Service Commission and contractual inflationary costs. Some districts have depleted their developer deposits or carryover, and their proposed rates represent the districts' true operational and administrative cost. Failure to approve these rates may result in suspension of services or accrued interest applied for lack of payment to the utility company. The ordinance was adopted on first reading on May 5, 2026, deferred on June 2, 2026, deferred on June 16, 2026, and adopted on July 21, 2026. The requester is Parks, Recreation and Open Spaces.

The staff recommendation is to approve the attached ordinance pertaining to the proposed FY 2026-27 assessment rates for the active districts listed in Exhibit A. The fiscal impact is countywide, but only for those homeowners within the boundaries of one or more Special Taxing Districts. The funds will accrue from the special assessments paid by the property owners of folios within the active Special Taxing Districts. The County is currently responsible for the management and operation of 1,103 active Special Taxing Districts. Of these, 957 are Street Lighting Districts, 24 are Security Guard Districts, 120 are Multipurpose Maintenance Districts, and 2 are Capital Improvement/Road Maintenance Districts. The special assessments are levied on a unit basis for security guard services, road maintenance and service relocations; square-footage basis for multipurpose maintenance services; and front-footage basis for street lighting services and gas pipeline services. Pursuant to notices published, posted, and mailed to all property owners within the Special Taxing Districts, the Board will hold a public hearing upon the notification of the assessment rolls, and all interested persons will be afforded the opportunity to present their objections, if any, with respect to their assessments on such assessment rolls. Prior to the hearing, residents of Districts with proposed rate increases will receive a required notice in the mail informing them of the public hearing. In addition, as required by law, staff will advertise the public hearing for impacted Districts in a newspaper of general circulation. Finally, staff from the Division have reached out to impacted Districts with organized associations to arrange for meetings with concerned residents and hosted an informational town hall meeting. The Internal Compliance Department (ICD) has been conducting annual audits on Special Taxing Districts. The most recent audit conducted for FY 2024 resulted in no adverse findings. The ordinance states that the Board has received written objections, if any, and heard testimony from all interested persons, but the document does not state the content of any specific public comments or objections. The ordinance provides that all assessments made upon said assessment rolls shall constitute a special assessment lien upon real property so assessed from the date of the confirmation of such assessments. The ordinance directs the Clerk of the Board to deliver to the Finance Director a copy of the assessment roll within 30 days from the effective date. The ordinance shall become effective ten (10) days after the date of enactment unless vetoed by the Mayor. The ordinance shall be excluded from the Code of Miami-Dade County.

Ordinance approving, adopting and ratifying non-ad valorem assessment rolls, rates and assessments for 219 certain street lighting special taxing districts in Miami-Dade County, Florida for fiscal year October 1, 2026 to September 30, 2027. The ordinance was adopted on final action on July 21, 2026, after being deferred from June 16, 2026 and June 2, 2026, and adopted on first reading on May 5, 2026. The total assessment for these 219 districts is $1,984,910, covering 24,890 folios, of which 23,565 folios are increasing by less than $50.00 for the year. The ordinance is needed to collect non-ad valorem assessments placed on the 2026 real property tax bills. The rate increases are necessary to cover utility rate increases approved by the Public Service Commission and contractual inflationary costs. Some districts have depleted developer deposits or carryover, and proposed rates represent the districts' true operational and administrative cost. Failure to approve rates may result in suspension of services or accrued interest applied for lack of payment to the utility company. The Parks, Recreation and Open Spaces Department (PROS) determined that services will offer special benefits to properties within each district, exceeding the amount of special assessments to be levied. The ordinance includes provisions for the assessments to constitute a special assessment lien on real property, collection in the same manner as ad valorem taxes, and delivery of the assessment roll to the Finance Director within 30 days of the effective date. The ordinance becomes effective ten days after enactment unless vetoed by the Mayor. The item was requested by Parks, Recreation and Open Spaces. The legislative history shows the Board of County Commissioners adopted the ordinance on July 21, 2026, with a pass/fail status of P. The ordinance was deferred on June 16, 2026 and June 2, 2026, and adopted on first reading on May 5, 2026. The staff recommendation is to approve the ordinance. The fiscal impact is countywide but only for homeowners within the boundaries of one or more special taxing districts. The County is responsible for 1,103 active special taxing districts, of which 957 are street lighting districts. The special assessments are levied on a front-footage basis for street lighting services. The ordinance references Exhibit A for legal descriptions, units of measurement, and assessment amounts, but the document text does not list the specific districts or their locations. Public comment or stakeholder sentiment is not stated in the document text beyond the general statement that a public hearing was conducted and written objections and testimony from interested persons were received, but no specific comments are detailed.

The ordinance was adopted on first reading on May 5, 2026, deferred on June 2, 2026 and June 16, 2026, and adopted on final action on July 21, 2026. The total assessment for these 219 districts is $1,984,910, covering 24,890 folios, of which 23,565 folios are increasing by less than $50.00 for the year. The rate increases are necessary to cover utility rate increases approved by the Public Service Commission and contractual inflationary costs. Some districts have depleted their developer deposits or carryover, and proposed rates represent the districts' true operational and administrative cost. Failure to approve rates may result in suspension of services or accrued interest. The Parks, Recreation and Open Spaces Department (PROS) determined services provide special benefits to properties within each district. The ordinance was requested by Parks, Recreation and Open Spaces. The legislative history shows the item was introduced on April 17, 2026. The document does not state specific street addresses, parcel numbers, or individual district names.
