Miami-Dade County tax and school funding referendums

Overview

Miami-Dade County voters are considering several ballot measures, including Referendum 268, which concerns the future of the Miami-Dade Public Schools system.

One specific measure involves the continuation of a $1 mill school tax for a four-year period from July 2027 to June 2031. This tax generates approximately $569.5 million for school operating expenses, with 88% allocated to teacher salaries and 12% to school security.

Other proposed amendments include increasing the state budget stabilization fund cap, providing tax exemptions for agricultural property, and increasing the homestead exemption for non-school taxes.
