Monroe County Tax Collector Sam Steele accepted the 2022 Excellence in Financial Operations Award and Certificate of Merit from the Florida Tax Collectors Association at its annual fall education forum. It is the first time the Monroe County Tax Collector’s Office has earned the prestigious awards.
To earn this recognition, a five-person judging panel made up of government financial executives throughout Florida examined processes in the following fields:
• Customer focus
• Innovation and automation
• Perfect annual audit report
• Budgeting
This rigorous and comprehensive review focused on financial records, practices and use of technology.
“Since taking office in January 2021, the mission of our organization has been to exceed expectations in customer service through innovation and modernization,” said Steele. “This award validates our dedication to our mission, and I could not be prouder of our team and what we have accomplished in such a short period of time.”
