Proposal impacts
Impact on Miami property taxpayers
Property tax bills would repay new city debt within the existing ceiling on the city's debt tax rate.
Property tax bills today include about $25 per $100,000 of taxable value for existing city debt.
Impact on Miami firefighters
Fire station workplaces could get renovations and new buildings paid for through city borrowing.
Fire station workplaces today include buildings more than 50 years old.
Impact on Miami police
Police headquarters staff could work in a newly built public safety headquarters.
Police headquarters staff today work in a building housing about 1,390 officers and 400 other staff.
Impact on Miami residents
Emergency services could serve residents from renovated fire buildings and a new headquarters for first responders.
Emergency services today operate through existing police headquarters and fire stations, including aging buildings.
