# How to Apply and Property Tax Townhall

North Miami housing and property-tax town hall, September 30, 2026: City Housing and Social Services staff outlined homeowner repair, emergency repair, exterior painting, first-time homebuyer, and rental move-in assistance programs. Assistance is generally income- and eligibility-based, with applications for the annual homeowner rehabilitation program accepted October 1–30; other programs have separate availability and funding limits. The North Miami CRA described residential assistance for repairs and beautification, including roofs, impact windows and doors, driveways, walkways, fences, and painting. Its prior-year award level was $30,000 per applicant, and the CRA executive director said the agency hoped to seek board approval on October 13 to increase it to $50,000. A tentative CRA application opening date of November 9 was mentioned. No procurement awards or purchasing actions were reported, and no vote occurred at the town hall; the proposed CRA increase remained subject to board approval.

State representatives also explained a proposed property-tax amendment and discussed potential effects on local-government revenue and services. Speakers cited a possible $20–$30 million impact on North Miami’s budget, while emphasizing that the measure was still subject to voter approval. Residents raised questions about condominium special assessments, flooding, traffic, development, and insurance; staff and representatives offered follow-up or referrals. The meeting focused on housing assistance and public funding information rather than procurement activity.
