The county collector of Sun coast County is responsible for collecting all property taxes levied by funds and governments within the boundaries of the county. To reimburse the county for estimated administrative expenses of operating the tax agency fund, the agency fund deducts 1.5 percent from the collections for the town, the school district, and the other town. The total amount deducted is added to the collections for the county and remitted to the Sun coast County General Fund. The following events occurred in 2017:
1. Current-year tax levies to be collected by the agency were:
County General Fund....................................................... $10,333,000
