Doral Sets Final FY2026 Millage at 1.7166 Mills, 8.13% Above Rolled-Back Rate | Doral Commission

COMMUNITY IMPACT

Doral property owners will pay slightly more in city taxes in FY2026 than they would under a revenue-neutral rate. A homeowner whose assessed value has risen will see a compounded increase — both from higher property values and from a rate set above the rollback. The 8.13% premium above the rollback signals the city is intentionally collecting more total revenue, funding expanded services or capital needs.

PROFESSIONAL ANALYSIS

Under Florida law (Section 200.065, F.S.), any millage set above the rolled-back rate requires a supermajority or a specific public hearing process with enhanced notice, both of which Doral is satisfying through this final adoption hearing. At 1.7166 mills, a property assessed at $500,000 (after exemptions) generates $858.30 in city taxes annually — roughly $64 more than the rolled-back rate would produce on the same value. Real estate professionals should note that Doral's total tax burden remains among the lowest in Miami-Dade County despite the above-rollback rate, preserving the city's competitive positioning for commercial and residential acquisitions. Developers underwriting projects in Doral should model the 1.7166 mill rate into pro formas for FY2026 closings. This is final adoption. The Signal: Investors and buyers closing on Doral properties after October 1, 2025 should update tax expense projections to reflect 1.7166 mills as the certified city rate.
