Sec. 18-2. - Purposes for which districts created.
Special taxing districts may be created and established in Miami -Dade County, Florida, under the
provisions of this article for the purpose of acquiring, constructing, reconstructing and installing any of
the following public improvements or of providing any of the following special services within such
districts:
(a) Water systems,
(b) Sewerage systems,
(c) Storm sewers,
(d) Street improvements,
(e) Sidewalk improvements,
(f) Police and fire protection,
(g) Recreation facilities,
(h) Street lighting,
(i) Incinerators,
(j) Beach erosion control, and
(k) Such other facilities or services which may be deemed essential by the Board.
Any such special taxing district may embrace not only an unincorporated area in the County but
also all or a part of one (1) or more municipalities in the County; provided however, that no such
district shall be comprised solely of a municipality or embrace all or a part of a municipality without the
approval of the governing body of such municipality. It is the intent of this article to provide for the
construction and the financing of public improvements and of providing services in areas in the County
where such improvements and services could not conveniently be made available otherwise, that the
cost of such improvements and services be borne on an equitable basis by those who receive the
benefits thereof, and that property receiving special benefits be assessed in proportion to but not in
excess of such special benefits.
Special taxing districts may be created and established for the purpose of providing street lighting
in new subdivisions developed in the unincorporated areas of the County. The creation and
establishment of such districts in new subdivisions shall be in accordance with the procedures
hereinafter set forth, except that the petitions for the creation and establishment of such districts shall
be signed by the owners of all property within the proposed district and by all persons, firms or
corporations having any right, title or interest in and to the property involved, including mortgagees
and other lien holders. The owners of the property embraced within the proposed district shall
guarantee payment of all costs and expenses incident to the creation of such district and shall pay the
entire cost of providing street lighting within the district for the first year. Such owners shall execute
and file an appropriate surety bond in the form prescribed or approved by the County, providing for
payment of the cost of creating the district and providing street lighting for the first year.

to the foregoing such petition shall also contain and set forth the following:

report and recommendations setting forth the following data and information:
(1) The boundaries or other description sufficient to identify the property to be embraced in
the proposed district as set forth in the petition, together with any recommendations as
to any territory within the proposed district that should be excluded from the district
because of the disproportionate cost of providing for such territory the project petitioned
for, or for any other reason, and any recommendations for the inclusion of any additional
territory within the proposed district;
(2) The location of the project to be constructed, acquired, reconstructed or installed within
the proposed district;
(3) An estimate of the cost of such project;
(4) An estimate of the annual expense to be borne by the district or the County of

special taxing district, his recommendations as to the levying of any special assessments
against the benefited property, and an estimate of the amount to be assessed against

the Board at the earliest practicable date. Upon receipt of such report, the Clerk
shall immediately transmit a copy thereof to the mayor of the County.
(d) Notice of public hearing. Upon receipt of such report of the County Manager, and from such
other investigations as the Board may make or cause to be made, the Clerk of the Board shall
prepare a certificate fixing the place, date and hour for a public hearing, which certificate shall
set forth a copy of the petition, excluding signatures, and brief summaries of the report and
recommendations of the County Manager, including (but without limitation) his
recommendations as to any additional territory which should be embraced within the

may be taken by the Board, the Board shall receive and hear objections of interested persons
to the creation and establishment of the proposed district, the property to be embraced
within the district, the project to be acquired, constructed, reconstructed or installed, or the
levy of any special taxes or special assessments therefor, or to any defect in the petition or the
proceedings theretofore taken, or which question any of the powers of the Board under the
provisions of this article, and petition with such modifications, if any, as it may deem advisable
and which do not enlarge the boundaries of the district as set forth in the certificate
mentioned in subdivision (d) of this section or change the general type or character of the
project. All such objections shall be in writing, in person or by attorney, and filed with the
Board at or before the time or adjourned time of such hearing. Any objections not so made

made available therefor and shall set forth the location of the project and a
description thereof by its material, nature, character and size. Such ordinance may

assessed,
If the Board shall be of the opinion that, in lieu of the issuance of bonds as herein
provided,, an annual tax should be levied upon all property in the district subject to
County taxation or that special assessments should be levied under the provisions of
paragraph (17) of Section 18-14 of this article, in order to furnish the services and
facilities to be provided by the project for which the district is created, such ordinance
shall set forth the maximum amount of such annual tax not exceeding ten (10) mills
on each dollar of the assessed valuation of such property, excluding that portion of
the valuation of such property which is subject to homestead exemption, or shall set
forth what part of the cost of maintaining, repairing and operating the project shall be
specially assessed in each year and the basis of the apportionment.
If the method of financing a project which is set forth in the ordinance adopted under the
provisions of this subsection creating and establishing a district shall be other than the
issuance of bonds of the district under the provisions of Sections 18-5 and 18-6 of this article
or the levy of taxes under the provisions of Section 18-7 of this article, the Board shall provide
that the ordinance creating and establishing the district shall take effect when approved by a
majority vote of the qualified electors residing in the district voting at an election to be called
by the Board and noticed and conducted and the result thereof determined and declared
either in the manner provided for the issuance of bonds of a district or in such other manner,
by mailed ballot or otherwise, as the Board shall by ordinance determine; provided, however,
that in the event the proposed district shall encompass both unincorporated and incorporated
areas of the County, then and in that event, the ordinance creating and establishing the
district shall take effect when approved by a majority vote of the freeholders who are qualified
electors residing in the unincorporated area and also a majority vote of the qualified electors
residing in each incorporated area in the district voting at an election to be called by the Board
and noticed and conducted and the result thereof determined and declared either in the
manner provided for the issuance of bonds of a district or in such other manner, by mailed
ballot or otherwise, as the Board shall by resolution determine; provided, further, that nothing
contained in this paragraph shall affect the validity of any district heretofore created and
established under the provisions of this article.
(g) Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions of this article a district may be created and
established under the provisions of this article for the combined purpose of acquiring,
constructing, reconstructing or installing both a water system and a sewerage system, and as
applied to a district so created and established, the word project shall embrace both the water
system and the sewerage system.
Nothing in this article shall be construed as prohibiting the creation and establishment of
a district which shall include all or any portion of the territory of another district or districts
theretofore created and established under the provisions of this article for the purpose of
providing a public improvement of another class,
