Pasco County residents have funded numerous improvements across the region for more than 20 years through the Penny for Pasco initiative. Voters approved a one-cent sales tax increase in 2004 to enhance schools, parks, roads, libraries, environmental lands and public safety. The program supports county quality of life, business and job growth, and the tourism industry, aiming to make Pasco County an attractive place to live, work and play.
The Pasco County Board of County Commissioners collaborates with the City Councils of Dade City, New Port Richey, Port Richey, San Antonio and Zephyrhills to plan and allocate funds effectively for community benefit. Since its inception, Penny for Pasco has funded projects directly impacting residents' daily lives.
Residents seeking information on specific projects or ongoing planning processes can find details through the Pasco County Board of County Commissioners' official communications and meeting agendas.
