City of West Miami

What City of West Miami does

The City of West Miami is a municipal government entity incorporated in 1947, operating under Florida state law and located in Miami-Dade County, Florida at 901 SW 62 Avenue. It provides statutorily mandated municipal services to residents and businesses within its city boundaries through a Mayor and Commission governance structure. Service delivery spans public safety (police patrol, detective, bike, motor, and DARE units), water and sanitation utilities, parks and recreation, community center programs (including after-care, gym memberships, and elderly services), building permits and planning/zoning, code enforcement, and passport services.

The city's operating model combines in-person City Hall services with a digital service infrastructure that includes the official cityofwestmiami.gov website, an online bill payment platform, the QAlert service request portal, a Citizenserve-based permit portal, Municode-hosted code of ordinances, and YouTube live streaming of commission and planning/zoning board meetings. Resident engagement is maintained through Facebook, Twitter/X, Instagram, and a flow.page information hub. The 10 listed administrative employees are supplemented by elected officials and contracted operational staff across police, water, and sanitation divisions.

The city's revenue model derives primarily from property taxes, utility fees (water and sanitation), permit fees, occupational license fees, and recreation program fees, augmented by State and Federal appropriations (notably $9 million secured during the current Mayor's first term). No commercial revenue, venture funding, or private equity applies given its status as a public government entity. Leadership includes Mayor Eric Diaz-Padron (elected April 2022, re-elected unopposed 2024), Vice-Mayor Ivan Chavez Jr., and Commissioners Juan M. Blanes, Gustavo J. Ceballos (appointed May 8, 2025), and Victoria De La Torre Gans.
