Find a Peer City
To update the information
for your municipality by filling out the 2012 CityStats Survey please contact
Monica Beyrouti at (850)701-3618.
The information in the Find a Peer City and CityStats data was generated from the 2011 CityStats Survey. We achieved an 80% response rate with completed surveys from 329 of the 410 cities in Florida. The survey was filled out by members of each individual municipality. Questions not answered by the member will display blank values. The answers are that of the individual cities and the Florida League of Cities did not verify this information with any other sources. CityStats Survey questions 39 and 40 were removed due to lack of response clarity and accuracy. The property tax data below is provided by the Florida Department of Revenue's 2010-2011 County and Municipal Property Tax Data Tables.
If you filled out the survey, select your City so that it

1. Population between:
and
2. Region (select one of the following):
3. Form of Government (select one of the following):
• Council-Strong Mayor: in this form of government there is usually a distinct division of powers between the council and the mayor. The Mayor is the chief executive and has substantial influence in the policy-making process and control over the administration. Depending upon the city charter, the mayor may (or may not) vote with the legislative body.
• Council-Weak Mayor: in this form of government the council usually retains collective control over administration, including appointment and dismissal of municipal employees and appointments to boards and commissions. The office of mayor is rotated among the elected council members on an annual basis.
• Commission: in this form of government the Commission holds both executive and legislative powers as the governing board. There is no single chief executive; rather, the commissioners, who serve collectively as the policy-making body, also serve individually as heads of the principal departments. In the basic commission form, there is no mayor or city manager, however today most cities using this form also elect a mayor.
• Council-Manager: in this form of government the city commission selects a manager as the chief administrative officer for the city. The manager supervises and coordinates all municipal administration and makes reports and recommendations to the council. The mayor is an important political figure and ceremonial head of the municipality, but has little responsibility with the day-to-day functions of the administration.
• Hybrid: depending on a city’s individual charter, their operations may not fit into a defined form of government. Mixing different characteristics from the other forms of government create a unique hybrid form that works for that individual city.
