Sources & notes
- Only source used: Miami-Dade County, FY2025-26 Adopted Budget and Multi-Year Capital Plan, Budget in Brief (miamidade.gov).
- Sum checks: operating $8,575,606,000 + capital $4,657,632,000 = $13,233,238,000; operating sources exact ($3,627,142,000 + $3,250,797,000 + $482,597,000 + $399,428,000 + $597,517,000 + $147,955,000 + $70,170,000 = $8,575,606,000); tax-supported $4,266,223,000 + proprietary $4,309,383,000 = $8,575,606,000; capital areas exact ($337,879,000 + $237,581,000 + $68,037,000 + $1,554,619,000 + $931,153,000 + $85,690,000 + $309,845,000 + $1,132,828,000 = $4,657,632,000).
- What is not claimed: the brief also cites a $42.897 billion multi-year capital plan across 529 programs; that is the multi-year program total, not the FY2025-26 capital budget ($4,657,632,000) used here. The brief's dollar-at-work shares (public safety 19¢, neighborhood and infrastructure 20¢, constitutional offices 15¢, economic development 14¢, health and society 10¢, transportation and mobility 8¢, recreation and culture 7¢, general government 6¢, policy formulation 1¢) are per-dollar illustrations, not a separate budget table.
