ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION
The Administration recommends that the Mayor and City Commission adopt the attached
Resolution which authorizes the City Manager to transmit the following information to the Miami-
Dade County Property Appraiser:
1) Final Millage Rates for Fiscal Year(FY) 2021:
General Millage 5.6298 mills •
Capital Renewal & Replacement Millage 0.0235 mills
Pay-As-You-Go (PayGo) Millage 0.0755 mills
Total General Operating Millage 5.7288 mills (same as last year)
Voted Debt Service Millage 0.3227 mills (0.0294 increase over last year)
Total Combined Millage 6.0515 mills
2) The final adopted total combined millage rate of 6.0515 mills for FY 2021 reflects an
increase of 0.0294 mills over the total combined millage rate of 6.0221 adopted for FY 2020.
The final adopted total operating millage rate of 5.7288 for FY 2021 is 0.1562 mills, or 2.8
percent(%), more than the"rolled-back" rate of 5.5726.As a result, the City is required to
publish a Notice of Proposed Tax Increase in accordance with the State of Florida's Truth in
Millage (TRIM) requirements.
The first public hearing on the tentative millage rates for FY 2021 was held on September 16,2020.
The millage rates herein are those which were tentatively adopted at the first public hearing on that
day.
The"rolled-back"millage rate for FY 2021 is the millage rate required to produce the same level of
property tax revenues in the General Fund in FY 2021 as anticipated to be received in FY 2020. It is
important to note that the overall January 1,2019 citywide tax roll declined by almost$788.4 million
between the July 1, 2019 certified valuation and the July 1, 2020 final valuation due to appeals,

Page 2
adjustments, etc., which is part of the reason the FY 2021 "rolled-back" rate is 0.1562 mills, or
2.8%, lower than the FY 2020 total general operating millage rate and is lower than it would have
been if the "rolled-back" rate was only adjusted for the increase in revenues generated by higher
property values. The area outside of the City Center Redevelopment Area (RDA), which impacts
General Fund revenues directly, decreased in value by approximately $546.1 million during the
same period.
PROCEDURE
Florida Statutes, Section 200.065, requires that at the conclusion of the first public hearing on the
proposed tax rate and budget, the City Commission proceed in the following specific manner:
1. Adopt a final ad valorem millage rate for FY 2021 general operating purposes. This is
accomplished by adopting a Resolution which includes the percentage increase or decrease
over the "rolled-back" rate; the required debt service millage rate.
State statute requires that only the title be read aloud.
2. Adopt a final general operating budget for FY 2021, which also includes budgets for
Enterprise, Internal Service, Special Revenue, G.O. Bond Debt Service Funds, as well as
the City Tax Increment Financing (TIF)portion of the City Center RDA.This is accomplished
by adopting a companion Resolution (see accompanying City Budget Agenda Item).

DETERMINING THE VOTED DEBT SERVICE MILLAGE LEVY
On November 6, 2018, the City of Miami Beach voters approved the issuance of a $439 million
G.O. Bond to fund a total of 57 capital projects citywide, ranging from vertical construction,
roadwork, park constructions and renovations, technology implementation, renewals and repairs,
and underground infrastructure work. The required FY 2021 Voted Debt Service millage rate
provides for the funding of the first tranche, totaling $153 million, of the $439 million G.O. Bond
program through the assessment, levy, and collection of ad-valorem tax on all property within the
City and the full faith, credit, and taxing power of the City pledged to the payment of the principal
and interest on the bonds issued as part of the voter-approved G.O. Bond Program.
For FY 2021, the total required debt service payment is$12.8 million,which requires the levy of a
Voted Debt Service millage rate of 0.3227 mills.The FY 2021 Voted Debt Service millage rate is
0.0294 mills more than the Adopted FY 2020 Voted Debt Service millage rate of 0.2933. The
required$12.8 million payment for FY 2021 is comprised of remaining debt service required for the
City's outstanding 2011 G.O. Bonds of$2.3 million, plus$10.5 million attributed to the G.O. Bond
Program that was approved by the voters in 2018.

IMPACT OF PROPOSED MILLAGE LEVY ON PROPERTY OWNERS
Homesteaded Properties
In 1992,voters approved an amendment to the Florida Constitution known as Amendment 10,also
known as Save Our Homes(SOH). SOH is an assessment limitation, or"cap", on increases in the
assessed value of a homestead residence. Those increases are limited to 3.0% or the percent
change in the CPI (Consumer Price Index),whichever is less.The"cap"goes into effect beginning
the year after a homestead exemption is granted.
Based on property values as of July 1, 2020,the median value of homesteaded property in Miami
Beach is $212,696 while the average is $545,281. The impact of the City's FY 2021 Total
Combined millage rate of 6.0515 mills on the median homesteaded property within the City would
be an increase of$110 while the impact to the average value homesteaded property within the City
would be an increase of$286 as summarized in the table below.

Impact on Non-Homesteaded Properties
The annual increase in market value of a non-homesteaded property is capped at 10.0%(does not
apply to school millage rates).While the citywide average increase in property values is 4.1%,the
property value of individual properties may increase up to, but not more than 10.0%(excluding the
school millage portion of the property tax bill). However, an individual property owner may see a
higher than 10.0% increase if there is a change in ownership of a capped property resulting in a
reset of the cap. Another potential factor, if applicable, would be the value of new construction
which can contribute to a property value increase of higher than 10.0%.
OVERLAPPING JURISDICTIONAL OPERATING AND DEBT SERVICE MILLAGE RATES
City of Miami Beach property owners must also pay property taxes to Miami-Dade County, the
Miami-Dade County School Board, the Children's Trust, the South Florida Water Management
District,Okeechobee Basin, Everglades Project,and the Florida Inland Navigational District.These
taxing authorities represent 68.7% of a Miami Beach property owner's tax bill.
Page 14 of 281
FY 2021 Final Millage Rates
September 29, 2020
Page 5
The proposed FY 2021 countywide tax rate for Miami-Dade County remained flat at 4.6669 mills;
the library tax rate also remained flat at 0.2840 mills;and the debt service remained flat at 0.4780
mills. The tax rate for the Miami-Dade School District decreased by 0.0190 mills to 7.1290 mills.
The Children's Trust tax rate decreased by 0.0173 mills to 0.4507 mills. Combined, the millage
rates for the South Florida Water Management District,Okeechobee Basin, Everglades Project,and
Florida Inland Navigational District decreased by 0.0120 mills to 0.2995 mills.
With the proposed rates for FY 2021,the Miami Beach portion of the tax bill is approximately 31.3%
of the total tax bill. Itis important to note that the FY 2021 Countywide millaqe rate is 0.9571 mills,
or 15.0%, less than the Countywide millaqe in FY2007, as compared to the City's FY2021 millaqe
rate that is 1.6215 mills, or 21.1%, less than the City's FY 2007 millaqe. Further,the School Board
millage is 0.9760 mills below the FY 2007 School Board millage of 8.1050 mills. The significant
difference in the total overlapping millage rate is a direct result of the City's continuing effort to keep
millage rates as low as possible.A summary of the rate changes is provided in the following table.

IMPACT OF COMBINED TAX RATES OF OVERLAPPING JURISDICTIONS ON
HOMESTEADED PROPERTIES
The City of Miami Beach's preliminary 2020 median and average homesteaded residential taxable
values are $212,696 and $545,281, respectively. Applying the total combined millage rates
proposed for FY 2021 to the median and average taxable values results in a property tax increase
of approximately$330 for the median and$858 for the average homesteaded residential tax bill in
the City of Miami Beach.
Median properties would pay approximately $4,118 per homesteaded property for all taxing
jurisdictions combined, while the property taxes for average homesteaded residential properties
Page 15 of 281
FY 2021 Final Millage Rates
September 29, 2020
Page 6
would be approximately $10,556 per homesteaded property. Of these taxing jurisdictions, the
highest component is the Miami-Dade School Board at$1,516 for a median valued homesteaded
property and $3,887 for an average valued homesteaded property in the City of Miami Beach.
The following table provides examples of changes in the property taxes levied for homesteaded
properties using the tax rates proposed for FY 2021 by jurisdiction.

As with the City of Miami Beach millage rates, impacts of the combined jurisdictional millage rates
for non-homesteaded properties are based on the individual property values.
HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE
It is important to note that in prior years,the City of Miami Beach significantly reduced tax rates as
property values increased. Between FY 2000 and FY 2010, property tax rates declined
approximately 2.8 mills. In FY 2008 alone,the property tax rate declined by approximately 1.8 mills
with annual savings to the average homesteaded property of over$400. In addition,in FY 2006 and
FY 2007, the City funded $200 and $300 homeowner dividends paid to homesteaded property
owners in the City. The City's Total Combined millage rates for FY 2017, FY 2018, and FY 2019
were the lowest it has been in at least 20 years. For FY 2020 and FY 2021,the slight increases in
the Total Combined millage rates are solely attributed to the approved G.O. Bond Program
approved by the voters on November 6, 2018.

Property Values and Tax Levy
The General Fund operating budget reflects a greater diversification of revenues since FY 2007.
The City Administration's long-term objective has been to reduce the subsidies from the Parking
Enterprise Fund and the City Center RDA Fund to the General Fund in order reduce the burden on
the Parking Enterprise Fund and City Center RDA Fund. Consistent with this strategy, and due to
the significant reduction in revenues being experienced resulting from COVID-19,the Administration
recommends the elimination of the $1.2 million transfer from the Parking Enterprise Fund to the
General Fund in FY 2021 while the City Center RDA subsidy is recommended to remain the same
as FY 2020 at$4.4 million to partially offset the decrease in General Fund revenues impacted by
COVID-19.
Despite the proposed FY 2021 General Fund operating budget increasing from $237.7 million in
FY 2007 to $327.6 million for FY 2021, which is an increase of$89.9 million over the last
fourteen years combined, the property tax levy has only,increased by $56.5 million over the
same period.

Property Values Tax Levy Including Debt
STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS
Florida Statute 200.065, entitled "Method of Fixing Millage," establishes specific guidelines that
must be used by all local government entities in setting millage (property tax) rates. Under the
Florida Statute,the City is required,within 35 days of receipt of the"Certification of Taxable Value"
(received July 1,2020),to advise the Miami-Dade County Property Appraiser of the proposed total
general operating millage rate,the calculated"rolled-back"rate and the date,time,and place of the
first public hearing to consider the proposed millage rates and budgets for FY 2021.The required
Voted Debt Service millage rate must also be set at the same time as the total general operating
millage rate.
After setting the proposed FY 2021 millage rate,the Mayor and City Commission may, at any time
prior to the final adoption, lower the rates by adjusting priorities. However, increasing the millage
rate may only be accomplished by an expensive mailing and advertising process to every property
owner on Miami Beach. The City's proposed operating millage rate as well as that of other taxing
authorities will be included in the Truth-in-Millage(TRIM)statement sent to each property owner in
the City.
MAXIMUM MILLAGE DETERMINATION
As presented at the June 16, 2020, July 17, 2020 and July 24, 2020 Finance and Economic
Resiliency Committee(FERC)Budget Briefings,the FY 2021 Total General Operating millage rate
is proposed at 5.7288 mills, which reflects no change from the prior year Adopted FY 2020 Total
General Operating millage rate. Based on the July 1,2020 Certification of Taxable Value received
from the Miami-Dade County Property Appraiser, the levy of 5.7288 mills would generate
approximately $196.6 million in General Fund property tax revenues, which is an increase of
approximately$9.2 million over the FY 2020 budgeted property tax revenues Citywide (net of the
City Center RDA).

Property Tax Revenue Projection 187,389,000 196,617,000
Property Tax Revenue Projection Variance 9,228,000
Further, pursuant to State Statute, the City may elect to approve millage rates above the "rolled-
back"rate up to the constitutional cap of 10 mills, subject to the following votes by the Commission
or referendum:
• Option I: A majority approval of the Mayor and City Commission is required to approve a
millage up to 6.2694 mills(equivalent to a 3.22% increase in Property Tax revenues).The
1.0322 increase is the State per capita personal income gain for the prior calendar year.
• Option II:A two-thirds approval(5 of 7 votes)of the Mayor and City Commission is required
to approve a millage up to 6.8963 mills (equivalent to a 10.0% increase in Property Tax
revenues above Option I).
• Option III:A unanimous approval of the Commission or referendum is required to approve a
millage above 6.8693 mills.
Adoption of the total general operating millage rate of 5.7288 mills proposed for FY 2021 would,
therefore, require a majority approval (4 of 7 votes) by the Mayor and City Commission per the
State of Florida's Truth-in-Millaqe (TRIM) requirements.
CONCLUSION
The Administration recommends adoption of the attached Resolution, which sets both final total
general operating and voted debt service millage rates for FY 2021 at 5.7288 mills and 0.3227 mills,
respectively.
