Department Directors, where appropriate, from multiple Sections to reflect "A copy of the
Resolution setting forth current permit fees shall be on file with the City Clerk and the
Department Director . An updated fee schedule shall be
maintained by the City Manager and made available via the City's website-an he-C-ity

SPONSOR(S): Commissioner Ralph "Rafael" Rosado
WHEREAS, on January 22, 2026, the City Commission passed Resolution No. R-26-
0043 which provided direction to the City Administration to bring forth this Ordinance to change
all fees, allowable by law, from adoption by Ordinance to adoption by Resolution; and
WHEREAS, this change will involve amendments to Chapters 2, 3, 10, 11, 12, 16, 17,
18, 19, 20, 22, 22.5, 23, 32, 35, 38, 39, 42, 50, 53, 54, 55, 57, and 62 of the Code of the City of
Miami, Florida, as amended ("City Code"); and
WHEREAS, at times, multiple fees within different sections of the same chapter are
amended concurrently, resulting in frequent updates and delays in providing accurate
information to the public due to fees being located across various chapters of the City Code and
any potential codification delays; and
WHEREAS, maintaining all fee schedules in a single, centralized chart available for
public review on the City of Miami's ("City") website and through each relevant department
would improve transparency, reduce confusion, and save time and resources for residents,
businesses, and
WHEREAS, the City desires to eliminate separately located fee schedules throughout
multiple sections of the City Code and to adopt a uniform process whereby all fee changes are
approved by resolution and maintained by the City Manager, available through the City Clerk
and on the City's website and the several relevant Departments; and
WHEREAS, this updated process would allow the City Commission to more efficiently
implement fiscally sound policies and best practices consistent with City regulations and
changing market conditions;

approved by resolution and maintained by the City Manager, available through the City Clerk
