List of municipalities in Florida
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from List of towns and villages in Florida)
There are 283 cities, 108 towns and 19 villages in the U.S. state of Florida, a total of 410 incorporated municipalities. They are distributed across 67 counties, in addition to 66 county governments.[1] Jacksonville has the only consolidated city-county government in the state,[2] so there is no Duval County government. However, smaller municipal governments exist within the consolidated municipality, i.e., Baldwin and the Jacksonville Beaches.[3] All but one of Florida's county seats are incorporated municipalities. The exception is Crawfordville, county seat of rural Wakulla County.[4]
Incorporated municipalities in Florida may be called cities, towns, or villages, but there is no legal distinction between the different terms. Municipalities often have police departments, fire departments, and provide essential services such as water or waste collection. In unincorporated areas of a county, the county government provides core services. Municipalities may also enter agreements with their county to have the county provide certain services. Each county has a sheriff who also tends to have concurrent jurisdiction with municipal police departments.[5][6]
As of the 2010 U.S. Census, more than 10 million Floridians, 55% of the state's total population of 18,801,310, resided in incorporated municipalities. The remainder resided in unincorporated areas. However, 94% of the population lives in metropolitan areas. Of the remaining 6%, many live in smaller cities and towns, thus the actual number of residents living in truly rural areas is small.[7]
In 1822, St. Augustine and Pensacola became the first municipalities to incorporate. The most recent incorporations were in 2006: Loxahatchee Groves and Grant-Valkeria. The largest municipality by population and land area is Jacksonville with 821,784 residents and 885 square miles (2,292 km2). The smallest by population is Lake Buena Vista with 10 people, while the smallest by land area is Lazy Lake at 0.022 square miles (0.058 km2).[8]
The formation and dissolution of municipalities is governed by Chapter 165 of the Florida Statutes. All Florida municipalities must be operated under a municipal charter approved by a majority of the registered voters in the geographic area of the municipality, and which must be confirmed by the state legislature through special legislation.[9]
All types of municipal government include a panel of three or more individuals elected to a council or commission. By definition, a council is the legislative branch of government, and the mayor is the executive branch, similar to the Federal model in the U.S. A commission serves as both legislative and executive branches. Both groups control the allocation of finances, establish ordinances and moderate the power of the mayor (or city manager) in the system of checks and balances.[10][11]
As is the case nationwide, the largest cities in Florida (population over 200,000) utilize the Strong Mayor-Council form of government whereby the elected mayor is in charge of daily government operations. A chief administrative officer is typically appointed by the mayor to create the budget, coordinate department activities and supervise the heads of each department. The CAO performs the same function as a City manager, but is responsible only to the Mayor.[12]
Approximately 70% of Florida's municipalities use the Council–manager government system, where a professional administrator is hired by the elected council/commission members to oversee government operations and is responsible to the council/commission. Even when an individual is hired to administrate on a daily basis, there is almost always a mayor, elected independently or chosen from the council/commission. However, the power of that position is primarily symbolic and ceremonial.[10][11]
The Weak Mayor-Council is used by many smaller municipalities because it divides the authority somewhat equally among all elected officials. Typically, there is no need for an individual to work full-time administrating government business. Each department head controls daily operations for the employees in their department, and can consult with the council in emergency situations that require special appropriations or permissions. Municipal decisions are made by consensus because no individual has veto power or authority to terminate.[13][14] Even the smallest city, Lake Buena Vista (population 10), has a mayor, four council members and a city manager.[15]
