Anne M. Gannon, Constitutional Tax Collector Serving Palm Beach County

The Florida Tax Collector as an independent, elected constitutional office was officially established by the Florida Constitution of 1885, so it would be free from influence by local or state agencies that have the power to levy taxes. The Tax Collector is elected to a 4-year term in the same year as the presidential election.

The constitutional office of the Tax Collector is not funded by tax dollars. It is a fee-based office, which means the fees collected for the services provided are used to fund the operating budget that is approved by the Florida Department of Revenue. Any revenue from fees collected beyond the amount needed to fund the office is returned to the local government agencies, including the county.

Anne M. Gannon is the first woman elected to the office of the Constitutional Tax Collector serving Palm Beach County. First elected by an overwhelming majority in 2006, she was re-elected in 2008, 2012, 2016, 2020 and 2024.
