Lake County, Florida

Lake County offices

Florida's constitution has every county elect five officers of its own. Each is chosen by the whole county and runs a separate office. They do not vote together as a board; each one answers directly to voters.

    The county's chief law enforcement officer. Patrols areas outside city police jurisdiction and, in most counties, runs the jail.

    PCPeyton C. Grinnell
  • Property Appraiser

    Sets the taxable value of every property in the county. That value, times the rates local boards adopt, makes up your property tax bill.

    MJMark Jordan
  • Tax Collector

    Collects property taxes and issues vehicle tags and titles, and in many counties driver licenses.

    DJDavid Jordan
  • Clerk of the Circuit Court

    Keeps court files and official records such as deeds and marriage licenses. In many counties also the county's auditor and treasurer.

    GJGary J. Cooney
  • Supervisor of Elections

    Registers voters, runs every election in the county and counts the ballots.
