Each year, a five-person panel of Floridian government financial executives meets to review the processes of different Florida tax collector offices. The criteria for winning the Legacy Award each year include a clean, error-free annual audit report combined with an organizational focus on innovative technology, customer focus, and keen budgeting skills.

“It is a great privilege for us as an organization to win our tenth Legacy Award this year,” said Pinellas County Tax Collector, Charles W. Thomas. “Winning this award ten years in a row is truly a testament to the hard work of our Budget & Finance team. I am very excited that their dedication to accuracy and excellence does not go unnoticed. They truly deserve this honor.”
