Miami-Dade County is confronting a budget deficit exceeding $400 million for 2026, leading Mayor Daniella Levine Cava to propose significant cuts and increased fees. Proposed measures include layoffs, cuts to the Parks department by $25 million, and a reduction of about $40 million in grants to nonprofits. While property-tax rates remain unchanged, the financial strains are attributed to decreased state and federal funding and rising costs linked to newly independent county agencies, such as the Sheriff's Office. The final budget proposal must be presented to the public by July 15.
