The City of Palm Coast Finance Department has released its latest Popular Annual Financial Report (PAFR), offering residents a clear, accessible, and transparent look at the City’s financial position and operations.

Designed with the community in mind, the PAFR presents key financial information in an easy-to-understand format, highlighting where revenues come from, how funds are allocated, and the City’s overall financial health.

The City’s commitment to transparency continues to be recognized at the national level, having earned the Popular Annual Financial Report Award from the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) for twelve consecutive years. The City looks forward to applying for the award again this year.

This report also coincides with the City’s most recent independent financial audit, which resulted in a clean opinion, further reinforcing Palm Coast’s strong financial management practices and commitment to accountability.

“Our goal is to make it easy for our residents to see exactly how their City’s finances operate,” said Finance Director Helena Alves. “We are proud to provide clear, accurate, and accessible financial information, and we encourage everyone to take a look.”

In addition to the PAFR, the City offers a wide range of financial resources online, including its Financial Transparency Dashboard. Users can explore revenue streams, expenditures, and budget allocations, with historical data available from Fiscal Year 2023 to present and updated weekly to ensure the most current information is always available.

Residents are encouraged to explore the PAFR and the City’s full suite of financial tools by visiting the City of Palm Coast website: https://www.palmcoast.gov/finance
