Palm Beach County's revenue from property taxes, sales taxes and tourist development taxes reached record levels in Fiscal Year (FY) 2018, according to the [https://www.mypalmbeachclerk.com/ Clerk of the Circuit Court & Comptroller, Palm Beach County]'s annual financial report, ''[https://www.mypalmbeachclerk.com/home/showdocument?id=1526 Checks & Balances: Your Guide to County Finances.]  ''

The County collected $1.1 billion in property tax revenue in FY 2018, an increase of 6 percent over the previous year. Sales tax collections rose to $175.8 million, marking the eighth consecutive year of growth. Revenue from Tourist Development Tax receipts was $53.8 million, up from $48.5 million in FY 2017. Meanwhile, Local Option Gas Taxes paid by motorists for gasoline decreased for the first time in five years, partially due to higher gasoline prices, which reduced the number of miles driven, according to the Clerk of the Circuit Court & Comptroller's ''[https://www.mypalmbeachclerk.com/home/showdocument?id=1526 Checks & Balances]'' report.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.mypalmbeachclerk.com/home/showdocument?id=1526|title=Checks & Balances: Your Guide to County Finances|website=Clerk of the Circuit Court & Comptroller, Palm Beach County|language=en|access-date=July 23, 2019}}</ref>

===County government===
The county is governed by a [[county commission|board of commissioners]], consisting of seven commissioners, who are all elected from single-member districts. One of the commissioners is elected County Mayor and one of them is elected Vice Mayor.<ref>{{cite web|title=Overview of County Government - The Legislative Branch|url=https://discover.pbcgov.org/Pages/PBC-Gov-Overview.aspx|website=pbcgov.org|access-date=January 25, 2021}}</ref> Commissioners serve staggered terms, and commissioners from Districts 1, 3, 5, and 7 are elected during presidential election years, while the commissioners from Districts 2, 4, and 6 are elected in gubernatorial election years.

Elected county officers include a clerk of courts and comptroller, [[County sheriff (Florida)|sheriff]], property appraiser, [[tax collector]], and [[Supervisor of Elections (Florida)|supervisor of elections]]. State officers serving the Florida judicial district include the [[state attorney]] and [[public defender]]. All positions are 4-year terms, requiring direct election by voters in presidential election years.

Five former county commissioners have been accused or found guilty of corruption from 2006 to 2009. A grand jury recommended a strong [[inspector general]]. This position was approved by county voters in 2010. A county judge found that the mandate covered municipal government in 2015.<ref>{{cite news|title=Is Palm Beach County ready to retire its 'Corruption County' reputation?|url=http://opinionzone.blog.palmbeachpost.com/2015/03/22/is-palm-beach-county-ready-to-retire-its-corruption-county-reputation/|newspaper=Palm Beach Post|access-date=March 22, 2015|archive-date=July 21, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150721232603/http://opinionzone.blog.palmbeachpost.com/2015/03/22/is-palm-beach-county-ready-to-retire-its-corruption-county-reputation/}}</ref>
