State Attorney – The FY 2012-13 operating budget is unchanged from the previous year. The budget includes State mandated
costs associated with Article V, Revision 7 for communications service, courier messenger, and subpoena services.
Supervisor of Elections – The FY 2012-13 budget of $7.3 million decreased by 28.4% or $2.9 million from the current
FY 2011-12 budget. The budget reflects the costs for one (1) county-wide election. As the County’s fiscal year starts in the
middle of an election cycle, most budget years include just one (1) countywide election, either the Primary or the General
Election. Fiscal Year 2011-12 included two (2) countywide elections due to the January 31, 2012, Florida Presidential
Preference Primary. This budget reflects a reduction of two (2) full time positions bringing the total number of positions down
from 45 to 43, which is a reduction of six (6) positions since 2007. With greater dependence on technology and automation, it
was possible to restructure poll worker positions and eliminate several temporary worker functions. The Supervisor of Elections
continues to rely on temporary workers to increase workforce during the election season.
Tax Collector – The operating budget is required by State statute to be submitted to Orange County by August 1 of each year.
The operating budget for the Tax Collector is approved by FDOR.
The commissions to be paid by the General Fund to the Tax Collector are currently budgeted at $23.6 million for FY 2012-13,
which is a 0.3% or $66,879 reduction due to lower property values. The charge is in accordance with a formula outlined in
Florida Statute 192 whereby taxing entities pay commissions to the Tax Collector for services provided. The Tax Collector has
no control over the amount charged for commissions, and the amount of commissions paid to the Tax Collector does not reflect
their operating budget. The General Fund pays commissions to the Tax Collector for tax collections made for the following
taxing entities: General Fund, Capital Projects Fund, Parks Fund, Orange County Public Schools, and Unincorporated Orange
County.
Capital Improvements – The FY 2012-13 capital improvements budget increased by 87.2% or $186,340 from the current
FY 2011-12 budget. Law Enforcement Impact Fee Funding is included in the amount of $400,000 for the construction of a stable
facility for the Sheriff Mounted Patrol at Clarcona Horse Park.
Reserves – The reserves budget of $405,905 is for the Teen Court Fund.
Other – The FY 2012-13 other category budget of $584,000 is funding for the Property Appraiser and is classified as nonoperating
under the budget submission provided to the Florida Department of Revenue (FDOR).
