Florida County Government Guide
Our Members asked for it, and we are pleased to present the new comprehensive guide on all aspects of Florida county government, including Florida’s history, county government structure, leadership and management, budgeting methods and strategies, economic development and growth management, human resources, purchasing and contracting, health and safety, and infrastructure.
There are two great ways to get this new guide. FAC Members may order the book version for $50 or get online access to the 2010 Guide for $200 which will include any updates during that time frame. Non-members may order the printed copy only for $80.
To get your copy, order online via the Member Login Portal or if you prefer to pay via check, click here to download a printable order form. (PLEASE NOTE, this is NOT the Annual FAC Member Directory)

FAC would like to thank our co-sponsors of the Florida County Government Guide. In 2009, the Florida Counties Foundation (FCF) and the Florida Association of County Attorneys (FACA) provided the necessary funding to be able to complete this endeavor.
We would also like to thank the Guide Steering Committee that for the last year oversaw the production of the Guide and the Florida Institute of Government at Florida State University that we contracted with to assist with the research, writing, editing and production.
The Guide Steering Committee was made up of commissioners, county attorneys and administrators from small, medium and large size counties. The Committee met several times to confirm the topics for the Guide and to help identify authors and editors. The Committee members were: Joie Alexander, Councilmember, Volusia County; Anne Bast Brown, County Attorney, Levy County; Jack R. Brown, County Administrator, Taylor County; Donald Butler, Chief County Administrator, Gulf County; Rodney L. Clouser, IFAS Extension, University of Florida; Paula A. Lewis, Commissioner, St. Lucie County; Vincent Long, Deputy County Administrator, Leon County; Denise M. Nieman, County Attorney, Palm Beach County; Randall H. Reid, County Manager, Alachua County; Janet Taylor, Commissioner, Hendry County; Jo O. Thacker, County Attorney, Osceola County; Herbert W. A. Thiele, County Attorney, Leon County; David A. Hallman, County Attorney, Nassau County; Virginia “Ginger” Delegal, General Counsel, Florida Association of Counties; Letreze Gooding, Director of Education and Events, Florida Association of Counties; and, Dena Hurst, John Scott Dailey Florida Institute of Government, Florida State University.
