Miami-Dade County increases environmental violation fines

Miami-Dade County has significantly increased fines for environmental violations with the potential to pollute the county’s ground and surface waters, including Biscayne Bay. “We take very seriously the protection of our bay and our water,” said Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava. For example, the fine for discharging prohibited substances into county waters was increased from $200 to $2,500. The Department of Regulatory and Economic Resources, through its Division of Environmental Resources Management (DERM), oversees environmental regulations throughout the county. Ensuring compliance with these provisions helps to protect and preserve county resources, including air, ground and surface waters, soil, property, and natural resources, all of which are valued resources to the county’s residents, visitors, and economy.

Property tax cuts and critical housing investments in proposed county budget

Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava recently presented her proposed county budget for Fiscal Year 2022-23, which provides the first property tax break in 10 years – a 1 percent reduction that will apply to all four taxing districts: countywide, UMSA, library and fire rescue. In the second budget of her administration, Mayor Levine Cava is taking a broad-picture approach — balancing short and long-term challenges by both providing immediate relief to residents struggling with rising costs and investing critical funds in solutions to the housing crisis. “As we look to the budget year ahead, we owe it to residents struggling with the rising costs of living to provide immediate relief. In total, the proposed budget invests over $500 million towards the retention and expansion of affordable housing — a historic number for Miami-Dade County. The proposed budget and more information about Mayor Levine Cava’s Budget Town Halls can be found online at miamidade.gov/budget.
