If voters approve Amendment 3 in November, the City of Miami expects to lose about $25 million in the first year and about $18.5 million in the second, roughly $45 million combined, staff told the Commission. The city's CRAs would lose about $1.4 million.

The numbers. Staff said the city has 142,939 properties, of which 31.5% are homesteaded.

What it could mean. Staff said options to close the gap could include raising the solid waste fee or cutting garbage pickup to once a week.

Reported from the Sept. 24, 2026 City of Miami Commission meeting.
