Utility Taxes

Pursuant to Florida Statutes 166.231, municipalities are authorized to tax the purchase of Bottled gas, Fuel oil and Metered gas.  Article IV, Utility Tax, Sec. 29-36 to 29-42 of the Code of Miami-Dade provides for the levy and collection of the County utility tax on the purchase of Bottled gas, Fuel oil and Metered gas.

As a seller of such services to the purchasers within the unincorporated area of Miami-Dade County, you are required to collect such excise tax and remit same to the Miami-Dade County Tax Collector.

For your convenience, we have provided website links that will allow you to download and print the Utility Excise Tax forms. Please mail the form to:
