Gasoline Price Signs

Miami-Dade County's Gasoline Price Ordinance requires anyone selling motor vehicle fuels to display at least one sign stating the kinds of fuel available, minimum retail price per gallon to the nearest 1/10 of a cent and any conditions of sale.

If there is a price difference due to a condition of sale i.e., (full service or credit) a supplemental sign must be displayed on top of the fuel dispensing device in numerals not less than 3 in. in height, and ½ in. in width in contrasting colors

The Miami-Dade County Code requires a primary sign that clearly and legibly states:

  • Each kind of motor vehicle fuel available for sale at the particular gas station, in full or abbreviated form.
  • The minimum retail price per gallon to the nearest one-tenth (0.1) of a cent, inclusive of all taxes, for each kind of motor vehicle fuel available for sale at the particular gas station;
  • Any conditions of sale to obtain the motor vehicle fuel for the price displayed on the sign, e.g., "cash" price, "credit card" price, "self-service" price, "full-service" price, etc.
  • The price sign must be displayed on the premises so that the sign is clearly visible and legible to drivers of approaching motor vehicles on at least one (1) street, avenue, road, or highway abutting one (1) of the entrances to the gas station.
