Foresight News reported on November 11, 2026, at 14:38 (UTC+8), that Miami-Dade County, Florida, tax official Dariel Fernandez announced property owners could pay property taxes in Bitcoin. The report does not give a separate time for the announcement. This article is a later rewrite of that report, not a new announcement.
What the announcement covers
As reported, owners may pay online or at county tax service points, using a supported cryptocurrency-exchange account or a digital wallet. Bitcoin is optional. Checks, credit cards, debit cards, and cash remain available and unchanged.
How the county is paid
The report says a third party automatically converts the Bitcoin into U.S. dollars at the time of payment. The county tax department receives the full amount due in dollars and does not hold cryptocurrency directly. The same report again states that checks, credit cards, debit cards, and cash are unchanged. It does not name the third party, give a fee, or state a conversion rate.
Boundary of the report
The documented change is an optional way to pay, with conversion before the county is credited in dollars. The report does not say the county will custody Bitcoin, alter the dollar amount of tax owed, or offer any market forecast. Nothing in the item supports a price conclusion.
Source and timing
Original report: Foresight News, November 11, 2026, 14:38 (UTC+8). The reporting time is that timestamp. The event described is the announcement that Bitcoin payment was then available; no separate event clock time is given.
