Citrus County Board of County Commissioners

What Citrus County Board of County Commissioners does

Citrus County Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) is the elected governing body of Citrus County, Florida, headquartered at 3600 W. Sovereign Path, Lecanto, FL, with the county itself established in 1887. The BOCC delivers essential public services to county residents across roughly two dozen internal departments covering building and permits, code compliance, land development, animal services, housing services, water and sewer utilities, water conservation, road maintenance, solid waste and recycling, parks and recreation, libraries, transit, fire rescue and emergency medical services, veterans services, senior services, and stormwater management. The entity is led by Chair Diana Finegan and Commissioners Jeff Kinnard, Janet A. Barek, Rebecca Bays, and Holly L. Davis, with Steve L. Howard serving as County Administrator.

The BOCC's core technology asset is an enterprise Geographic Information Systems (GIS) platform built on ArcGIS/Esri, which supports 28 internal departments and coordinates with intergovernmental partners including FEMA (flood zones, hurricane evacuation mapping), the U.S. Census Bureau (demographic and designated-place data), the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (sinkhole and geologic layers, Basin Management Action Plan data), and the UF GeoPlan Center (Sea Level Rise scenario modeling). Citizen-facing digital products include the main citruscounty.gov website (powered by Revize), the GIS Interactive Maps Portal at maps.citrusbocc.com, a Permit Search Portal holding over 439,000 permit records, a Pavement Management transparency dashboard for the 2026 workplan, a GIS-based Address Lookup tool spanning school zones, utilities, flood zones, land use, zoning, building permits, and code compliance, the eNotify direct-notifications service, a public records request system, and Board meeting video archives on YouTube. A weekly "Sunday Commentary" newsletter from the County Administrator supports ongoing citizen engagement.

Citrus County BOCC operates as a public-sector entity funded through ad valorem property taxes, user fees (including building permits, water/sewer, landfill, and boat launch fees), state and federal grants, and other government funding mechanisms. It is governed by five elected Commissioners with an appointed County Administrator and has no parent company or subsidiaries. The BOCC has no publicly disclosed revenue figures, no funding rounds, and no merger or acquisition history; its strategic posture is operational service delivery, transparent governance, and incremental technology modernization rather than commercial growth.
