Florida residents are encouraged to do their part in helping Florida flatten the curve by anonymously answering questions that range from age and residency, to recent travel, to potential COVID-19 contact. The StrongerThanC-19 community action survey is designed to gather information to help the Department track and slow the spread of COVID-19 in Florida; it is not a symptom checker designed to dispense medical advice. The StrongerThanC-19 community action survey is free to use and can be accessed by visiting: www.StrongerThanC19.com.

The Florida Supreme Court today denied a petition by the Escambia County School District to assert a challenge to prior court rulings finding that county-owned land on Pensacola Beach could not be subjected to real property taxes.  Both Judge Duncan of the Circuit Court of Escambia County and the First District Court of Appeal had previously found that land at Pensacola Beach, which is subject to long-term but non-perpetual leases, is owned by the County.  County-owned land is immune from ad valorem taxation.
