Chapter 31, Article II of the Miami Dade County Code requires anyone wishing to provide for-hire taxicab services to first obtain a for-hire taxicab license. Taxicab service is on-demand or prearranged transportation using vehicles that seat nine passengers or less, including the driver. Taxicab vehicles are sedans, station wagons, minivans, and sport utility vehicles.
Why is this necessary?
It is necessary to license and regulate for-hire transportation in Miami-Dade County to assure the passengers, as well as others utilizing the streets of Miami-Dade County, that the vehicles are fit and their operators and chauffeurs are competent to provide such service.
The Miami-Dade County taxicab for-hire license system is a medallion system. This system deems a taxicab for-hire license to be intangible property. The owner of a taxicab medallion can use the medallion as collateral to secure a loan from a bank or any other financial institution
New taxicab for-hire licenses are issued through a lottery process only to registered taxicab chauffeurs. Similarly, the sale of existing for-hire licenses is also limited to registered taxicab chauffeurs. A chauffeur who is issued a taxicab for-hire license must operate the taxicab authorized by the license for one shift per day, five days per week.
