Miami-Dade Tax Collector Dariel Fernandez achieved a significant milestone in his mission to make government services more accessible to residents, after Coral Gables Mayor and City Commissioners unanimously approved a resolution pledging to collaborate in the identification of a property within its boundaries that can be further developed into a Tax Collector’s branch office.
“For too long, residents have had to come to us. This time, we will go to them,” said Fernandez publicly during the Coral Gables January 14 commission meeting. “Our mission is to ensure that every resident—especially seniors and individuals with disabilities—have easy access to the services they need without having to travel long distances.”
Coral Gables leaders emphasized the added value this collaboration will bring to its residents, allowing them to have convenient access to vital tax-related services, such as paying property taxes, local business taxes, vehicle registrations and more. The approved resolution directs the Coral Gables City Manager to engage with the Tax Collector to identify and evaluate potential locations within the City that may be suitable for a Tax Collector-operated facility, given special consideration to accessibility, public needs, and logistical feasibility.
The proposed satellite office in Coral Gables represents a significant step forward in Fernandez’s plans to decentralize services and reduce travel burdens for most residents, who currently must visit the only Tax Collector’s Office, located in downtown Miami when transacting in-person businesses. This initiative is part of Fernandez’s larger strategy to establish satellite offices across the County’s 34 incorporated cities, making government services more accessible to the County’s more than 2.7 million residents.
