According to ChainCatcher, the Miami-Dade County Tax Collector’s office has begun accepting Bitcoin for property tax payments online and in person. Payments are converted to U.S. dollars by a third-party system before reaching the county, which does not hold, invest in or manage cryptocurrency. The processor’s name and any Bitcoin payment fee were not disclosed. Online credit card and mobile wallet payments currently incur a nonrefundable fee of 2.5%, with a $2.50 minimum.

Property owners can select cryptocurrency at online checkout or request it at a counter, then connect a supported exchange account or digital wallet and authorize payment. The county receives the full amount due in dollars, and transactions appear in standard payment reports.

The change comes during Florida’s property tax season. Miami-Dade opened its 2026 tax bills on October 30 and is offering a 4% early-payment discount for payments made by November 30. The discount falls to 3% in December, 2% in January and 1% in February; taxes are due in full in March. In 2021, county commissioner Danielle Cohen Higgins proposed studying Bitcoin payments for county taxes and fees. Colorado has accepted cryptocurrency for state tax payments since 2022, and Utah later introduced a similar option for individual income taxes.
