Why the County Clerk Matters
Audits the County's $1.4 billion budget
As comptroller, the County Clerk holds all tax dollars collected and then pays out expenses on behalf of the County Commission.
In July of 2023, the current clerk sent a payment for roughly $500,000 that did not reach the intended payee. Later in September, the county sent another payment for more work to the same company, this time for roughly $600,000, which also did not reach the intended company.
Law Enforcement is investigating and trying to recover the $1.1 million dollars.
Article I, Section 8, Florida Constitution
The Florida Constitution established the Clerk of Courts and Comptroller as an elected public trustee in 1838, establishing at the county level a system of checks and balances.
Safeguarding Your Taxes
Article VIII, Section 1(d), Florida Constitution
The Clerk of the Circuit Court shall be Ex-Officio Clerk of the Board of County Commissioners, Auditor, Recorder and Custodian of all county funds.
The Clerk and Comptroller's Office performs over 926 different constitutional and statutory functions and duties. You deserve a Clerk who will protect your tax dollars and all the records entrusted to the clerk's office with integrity and unwavering diligence.
