Budgetary
Trends
What’s a Millage Rate?
Rate levied per $1,000
of assessed property
value that will be used
to identify your tax
obligation
Example:
Home’s Assessed Value = $100,000
Total Adopted FY 2024 Millage Rate =
6.1481
Tax Levy:
$100,000/1,000 = $100
$100 x 6.1481
Tax Obligation = $614.81
Overlapping Millage Miami Beach
Note: “Other” category comprised of dedicated millage rates for Children’s Trust, South Florida Water Mgmt., Okeechobee Basin, Florida Inland Navigation District (FIND), and

1-Day/Week Service - $900K

Sanitation Balancing Strategies
Potential Options for Consideration:
Immediate/Short-Term:
Increase Roll Off Franchise Fees by 2-4% (from 20% to 22-24%)
Approximately $28K - $57K per fiscal year
Modify Roll Off Franchise Fees Ordinance to include all debris removal options excluding
small renovations
Pass through recycling fees charged by Miami-Dade County for weekly recycling services
provided to single family homes
Approximately $0.5 million annually, which is currently absorbed by the Sanitation Fund
Longer-Term:
Increase the Franchise Fees or City Service Fees in the new commercial/multi family waste
agreement
Once RFP for single hauler is crafted this component can be addressed
Estimate to be determined once definitive Request for Proposal (RFP) model is established for
bidding purposes
