Deep Tide TechFlow News, November 11 — Dariel Fernandez, tax collector for Miami-Dade County, Florida, announced on November 9 that the Tax Collector’s Office has officially begun accepting Bitcoin for property tax payments. Taxpayers can pay using supported cryptocurrencies through online platforms or in-person service counters.
According to the announcement, taxpayers can connect a supported cryptocurrency exchange account or digital wallet to complete payments. The funds will be automatically converted into U.S. dollars before being deposited into the tax department’s account.
The tax department emphasized that the government will not directly hold, invest in, or manage cryptocurrencies. All taxes will be settled in U.S. dollars to prevent cryptocurrency price fluctuations from affecting tax amounts. Cryptocurrency payments are optional, and existing traditional payment methods remain unchanged.
