PCMCD is an Independent Taxing District with a board of three elected Commissioners. These elected positions are non-partisan with no political affiliation.  

Pursuant to legislation enacted by the Florida Legislature in 2025, the Pasco County Mosquito Control District (PCMCD) will transition from countywide (at-large) elections for its Board of Commissioners to elections conducted by geographic subdistrict.

While PCMCD will continue to provide mosquito control services and public health protection throughout all of Pasco County, Board members will now be required to reside within designated subdistrict boundaries and will be elected only by voters residing within those respective subdistricts.

The Pasco County Board of County Commissioners was responsible for establishing the initial subdistrict boundaries, which have been adopted in accordance with state law.

The new subdistrict boundaries will be used beginning with the November 2026 General Election. Current Board members will continue to serve their existing terms as prescribed by law. 

What this means for voters:

• The PCMCD will continue serving all residents of Pasco County.
• Beginning with the November 2026 General Election, voters will elect only the Commissioner representing their assigned subdistrict.
• Candidates for the Board of Commissioners must reside within the subdistrict they seek to represent.
• The Board of Commissioners will continue to govern PCMCD and oversee mosquito control operations countywide.

The Commissioners are elected for a 4 year term, with two seats elected on the same year, and the third seat is elected 2 years later. If there should be a vacancy on the board, it would be filled by appointment for the remainder of the unexpired term by the Commissioner of Agriculture from the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS).

The Commissioners serve as the fiscal guardians of the tax-payers of Pasco County. Their primary function is to make decisions on setting the annual budget and millage rates based on the recommendations of the District’s Executive Director. Additionally, they review and approve checks and purchase orders, and review and approve the policy decisions of the District. The Commissioners are on a rotating monthly schedule to approve and sign vendor payments and payroll each week.

The Commissioners meet once a month for the District’s Board meetings and as needed for special workshops. There are also two Budget Hearings held every year in September to give the final approval on the budget and millage rate for the upcoming fiscal year. The Board has voted to rotate duties between Commissioners annually, so that each may have the opportunity to serve as the Chairman, Secretary, and Treasurer.

The public is always welcome to attend any of our monthly meetings in-person, as well as the Budget Hearings in September. The District enjoys hearing feedback from the residents.
