A year ago, the Miami Springs City council voted to lower the millage rate from 6.9100 to 6.8600. This year, the Council unanimously voted to lower the millage rate from 6.8600 to 6.8100 for the fiscal year 2025-2026. That’s roughly a 1% drop in the millage rate.
We want to thank the City Manager, J.C. Jimenez and the City’s Finance Director, Chris Chiocca, for their hard work and fiscal responsibility to be able to lower the millage rate while keeping quality services for the residents. We are very appreciative for all the hard work they did in preparing a budget that gave the new City Council the easy option of lowering the millage rate.
While the millage rate is lower, it does NOT mean that your property taxes will be lower. Due to increasing property values, you may be paying a lower rate on a higher value.
Furthermore, your municipal taxes to the City of Miami Springs is only a small portion of the property taxes you pay. In Miami Springs, we are also taxed for the following:
- Miami-Dade School Board
