For the City Commission's reference, every tenth mill will generate approximately
$5.115 million for the City of Miami General Fund in the next fiscal year.
Florida Statute Section 200.065 governs the setting the millage rates, adoption of
budget, and the timeframes required of each. It requires that the City of Miami advise
the Property Appraiser of its proposed millage within 35 days of the July 1st certification
of value so that the information can be included in the notice of proposed property taxes
mailed to property owners in August.
The same statute governs the timeframes for the first and second budget hearings. The
first hearing must be held between 65 and 80 days of the same July 1 certification of
value, which is no earlier than September 4 and no later than September 19. The City
must then hold a second budget hearing with enough time to provide the final budget
and millage rates to the property appraiser, tax collector, and State of Florida
Department of Revenue by October 1.
Effectively, the tentative millage adopted on July 25, 2019 represents the upper limit for
the millage rates to be considered in September. The Commission may lower the
general operating millage rate at either of the two budget hearings, but effectively
cannot raise it above what is adopted in July. State law allows for this possibility, but it
cannot be practically achieved within the timeframes provided in state law. According to
the Property Appraiser's Office, this re -noticing of millage rates has not been
accomplished even once in the history of the State of Florida.
