The Office of Strategic Engagement is responsible for fostering engagement opportunities both within the organization and with the public. These opportunities are delivered through various methods and channels, including, annual strategic planning, ongoing monitoring and reporting of the City’s key performance indicators, state and federal legislative affairs, employee engagement surveys, customer satisfaction surveys, focus groups, citizen resource education sessions, and community outreach activities, all with the goal of encouraging employees and citizens to take an active role in their local government and community affairs.

Property taxes are how cities fund the services people count on—law enforcement, waste collection, road repair, emergency response, and more. Unlike other revenue sources, they stay in the community where they’re raised, giving residents a strong say in how dollars are spent.

As discussions about property taxes and funding continue, this educational information from the Florida League of Cities provides clear facts, context, and resources to help you understand how local government operates:
