What CITY OF LEESBURG does

The City of Leesburg is a full-service municipal government incorporated in 1875 in Lake County, Florida, operating under Florida state law with an elected City Commission. It delivers a comprehensive portfolio of municipal services to residents and businesses within city limits, with its Electric Department also serving portions of Lake County and most of the City of Fruitland Park. Core functions span five utility streams (electric, gas, water, wastewater, and stormwater), residential and commercial garbage collection, public safety (a full-service Police Department with patrol, K-9, SWAT, narcotics, and drone-enabled aviation, plus a Fire Department with rescue and EMS), parks and recreation (including a marina, aquatics, sports complexes, and a 27.4-acre Susan Street Sports Complex being redeveloped), a public library with passport acceptance, a municipal airport with U.S. Customs, building permitting and inspections, planning and zoning, code enforcement, and public works.

The technology stack is conventional but modernized for a municipality of its size. Operations run on AMI (Advanced Metering Infrastructure) smart meters that capture usage data and automatically report outages, an Outage Management System integrated with an ArcGIS-based public outage map, Click2GovCX for online utility billing, Cognito Forms for permits and program registration, Governmentjobs.com for hiring, and TextMyGov for SMS-based citizen engagement and outage alerts (text POWER to 352-728-9830). A QR code linking directly to the live outage map was deployed in March 2026, and a Downtown Master Plan is being executed with GAI Consultants.

Revenue is generated through a mix of subscription-style utility charges (residential electric at $0.0923/kWh plus a monthly Bulk Power Cost Adjustment, gas, water, wastewater, stormwater, and a $5.75-$6.75/month surge protection program), property taxes, building permit and inspection fees, business tax receipts, parks and recreation program and facility rental fees, and marina and airport operations. The city purchases wholesale power through the Florida Municipal Power Agency (FMPA) joint action agency and offers solar net metering at FMPA wholesale rates plus energy efficiency rebates. The City has received the GFOA Distinguished Budget Presentation Award for 28 consecutive years and a Florida Municipal Electric Association Safety Award, reflecting long-standing fiscal discipline.
