What Pasco County does

Pasco County, FL is a county government entity founded in 1887, headquartered in New Port Richey, Florida, serving a population of approximately 659,114 residents across 868 square miles with 1,001–5,000 employees. The county provides the full spectrum of municipal and county-level public services — emergency response (fire rescue, EMS, emergency management), disaster recovery, utilities, permitting and planning, animal services, parks and recreation, senior services, veterans services, public works, transportation (GoPasco transit with mobile ticketing), and human services — to residents, businesses (1,467 operating in the county), and visitors within its jurisdiction. The county operates an integrated technology stack including Accela for online permitting, Neighborly Software for the CDBG-DR participant portal, ArcGIS Dashboards for public project tracking, and a dedicated online pet licensing portal, plus a county-wide standardized MEDUMAT Easy CPR fleet deployed across EMS ambulances.

The county's revenue model is non-commercial: funding is generated through local taxes, state appropriations, federal grants (notably the $585.7M HUD CDBG-DR allocation announced in January 2025 for Hurricanes Idalia, Helene, and Milton recovery), and user fees for utilities, permitting, and animal licensing. The flagship strategic initiative is the Better Future disaster recovery program, which operationalizes the federal CDBG-DR allocation across six sub-programs (Individual Housing, Affordable Housing, Planning, Small Business & Non-Profit Recovery, Infrastructure/Mitigation, and Public Services) launched in phases from December 2025 through Summer 2026. The county is governed by an elected Board of County Commissioners and is led operationally by figures including EMS Chief Gregory Pollock and Better Future Director Chuck Lane.
