Miami-Dade TRIM budget hearings: Sept. 3 & Sept. 17 at 5:01 p.m.

Miami-Dade County has set two public budget hearings tied to the annual property-tax TRIM (“Notice of Proposed Property Taxes”) process. TRIM notices are sent to property owners by Aug. 24, and the notices are designed to help residents review proposed taxes and the public-hearing dates that follow.

For FY 2026-27, the county’s budget hearings are scheduled for Thursday, Sept. 3, 2026 and Thursday, Sept. 17, 2026, both at 5:01 p.m. at the Commission Chambers, Stephen P. Clark Center, 111 NW 1st Street, Miami.

The key dates residents should mark

• Thursday, Sept. 3, 2026 at 5:01 p.m.
• Thursday, Sept. 17, 2026 at 5:01 p.m.
• Location (both dates): Commission Chambers, Stephen P. Clark Center, 111 NW 1st Street, Miami

How the TRIM notice connects to the September hearings

The Miami-Dade Property Appraiser says TRIM notices are mailed by August 24 and include property values, exemption benefits, proposed taxes, and budget hearing information.

The TRIM guidance also explains that the notice lists the various taxing authorities and their respective budget hearing dates, times, and locations—so you can find the meeting(s) that apply to your property and plan to attend if you want to participate.

What to look for on your TRIM notice before the meeting dates

When you receive your TRIM notice, use it to map what’s proposed and where to show up. In particular:

• Check the proposed taxes and the exemptions/benefits listed for your property.
• Find the budget hearing information that corresponds to the taxing authorities affecting your property.
• Review the property values shown on the notice (the Property Appraiser lists property value “as of January 1”).

If you don’t receive a TRIM notice, the Property Appraiser instructs residents to call 311 for a copy, and to have their property folio number available. The guidance also notes TRIM notices can be accessed online.

A resident-friendly timeline to follow

1. By Aug. 24, 2026: TRIM notices are sent to property owners.
2. After you get the notice: Review proposed taxes/exemptions and the hearing dates/times/locations listed for your taxing authorities.
3. Sept. 3 and Sept. 17, 2026 (5:01 p.m.): Attend Miami-Dade County’s public budget hearings at Stephen P. Clark Center if you want your questions and concerns on the record.

One caution: Miami-Dade’s FY 2026-27 budget submission manual flags that the September public budget hearing dates are subject to change at Board of County Commissioners discretion. Residents should re-check the county’s meeting notices close to both dates to confirm logistics.

Bottom line: use your TRIM notice as your planning document, then mark your calendar for the September hearings—because that’s where the county will take public input during the budget process tied to the proposed property-tax information.
