Overview
The City of Miami's FY2025-26 operating budget totals $1,830,273,000, including a General Fund of $1,224,745,000 and Special Revenue Funds of $385,929,000. The General Fund is $6,000,000 below its preliminary figure of $1,230,745,000, reflecting a $9,000,000 transfer-in reduction partly offset by a $3,000,000 increase in fire-rescue emergency services charges. Total city positions rise from 4,805 to 4,822, including 13 new Fire-Rescue positions for a Freedom Park unit.

Sources & notes
- Only source used: City of Miami, Final Adopted Budget FY2025-26 exhibits (Attachments A, B, and C) to the City Manager's memorandum dated September 25, 2025, for the second budget hearing (File No. 18065, Exhibit A).
- Sum checks: General Fund revenues exact ($647,599,000 + $145,857,000 + $22,338,000 + $8,222,000 + $6,429,000 + $110,753,000 + $104,457,000 + $22,003,000 + $157,087,000 = $1,224,745,000); General Fund department expenditures exact (34 lines summing to $1,224,745,000); Special Revenue Funds exact at $385,929,000; General Fund $1,224,745,000 + Special Revenue $385,929,000 = $1,610,674,000, leaving $219,599,000 of the $1,830,273,000 operating total in funds not itemized in the pulled exhibits.
- What is not claimed: no all-funds (operating plus capital) total is shown, because the pulled exhibits cover the operating budget; the capital plan figures in the memorandum are revisions and reappropriations, not a summed capital total. This is the City of Miami only — Miami-Dade County is a separate government with its own dashboard.
- Jurisdiction palette: no verified Florida jurisdiction palette was on file, so this page uses the neutral Hometown Numbers dark-glass theme rather than a jurisdiction color.
