American Drive, Miami, Florida, for the purpose of receiving
public comment on the proposed assessments. All affected

appeal is to be made. In accordance with the Americans with

The assessment for each parcel of property will be based upon
each parcel's classification and the total number of billing units
attributed to that parcel. The total Solid Waste estimated amount
to be assessed and collected for the Fiscal Year commencing
October 1, 2017, is $25.953 million, while the full cost of Solid
Waste services is approximately $35.961 million. The following
table reflects the proposed Solid Waste assessment schedule:
Copies of the Solid Waste Assessment Ordinance, Initial
Assessment Resolution and the preliminary assessment roll are
available for inspection at the Office of the City Clerk of Miami,
Florida, 3500 Pan American Drive, Miami, Florida.
Unless proper steps are initiated in a court of competent
jurisdiction to secure relief within twenty (20) days from the
date of City Commission action at the above hearing (including
the method of apportionment, the rate of assessment and
the imposition of assessments), such action shall be the final
adjudication of the issues presented.
The assessments will be collected on the same bill as ad valorem
taxes. Failure to pay the assessment will result in either the
commencement of foreclosure proceedings or cause a tax
certificate to be issued against the property which may result
in a loss of title.
If you have any questions, please contact the City of Miami at
(305) 416-1570, Monday through Friday between 8:30 a.m.
