Deerfield Beach city · November 3, 2026
The question on your ballot
Shall the Charter be amended to remove the requirement that voters approve at a referendum election, and instead authorize the City Commission to approve, the sale, gift, trade, transfer, or lease of all or a portion of, or an interest in, city-owned real property with a fair market value exceeding $750,000, thereby eliminating the additional time and cost of conducting referendum elections for such transactions?
In plain language
A VoterDecoder summary of the official measure text.
Deerfield Beach voters are asked whether the charter should stop requiring voter approval by referendum for certain city property deals. The change would let the City Commission approve sales, gifts, trades, transfers, or leases of city-owned real property. This applies to property with a fair market value exceeding $750,000. The question says this would remove the time and cost of holding referendum elections. A YES vote removes the referendum requirement and gives the commission that approval power. A NO vote keeps the referendum requirement.
