Jacksonville Elected Officials in 2026

Jacksonville is governed by Mayor Donna Deegan, a 19-member City Council led by President Nick Howland, and six constitutional officers for Duval County, from the Sheriff to the Tax Collector.

Donna Deegan is Mayor of Jacksonville (City of Jacksonville, Mayor). Nick Howland, who holds At-Large Group 3, is President of the Jacksonville City Council, and Joe Carlucci of District 5 is Vice President (Jacksonville City Council). The city's government directory names six constitutional officers: the Clerk of the Courts, the Sheriff, the Property Appraiser, the School Board members, the Supervisor of Elections and the Tax Collector (City of Jacksonville, Government).

The Jacksonville names in the table come from each office's own site or the state's official listing: the Sheriff's Office (Jacksonville Sheriff), the Property Appraiser (Duval County Property Appraiser), the Tax Collector (Duval County Tax Collector), the Florida Division of Elections (Duval County Supervisor of Elections) and the Clerk (Duval Clerk of Courts). The mayor's row uses 630-CITY because the Mayor page publishes no direct office line.

Mayor Donna Deegan presented a proposed FY 2026-27 Jacksonville budget on July 20, 2026, with a General Fund of $2,026,502,015 and a $586,110,854 Capital Improvement Plan.

The Mayor page describes the plan as balanced and says it draws zero dollars from reserves for the second year in a row (City of Jacksonville, Mayor). The same Jacksonville page sets out the administration's priorities: public safety, infrastructure and public works, affordable housing and homelessness, health and wellness, economic development and jobs, youth and literacy, military and veterans affairs, and arts and culture. On permitting, it says the mayor allocated over $21 million toward improving permitting, inspections, technology and staffing to cut delays.

The Mayor page still describes the FY 2026-27 figures as the proposed budget as of October 15, 2026, and links the proposed FY26-27 Annual Budget, the proposed FY27-31 Capital Improvement Plan and the budget address; the separate Jacksonville budget guide covers the city budget (City of Jacksonville, Mayor).

Jacksonville City Council is led by President Nick Howland and Vice President Joe Carlucci, and any resident can find a district member with the Council District Search or the JaxGIS My Neighborhood map.

The council's 19 members are elected to four-year terms and serve part time; 14 represent districts of nearly equal population and five represent all of Jacksonville at large (Jacksonville City Council). Each May the members elect a President and Vice President for one-year terms that begin on July 1, and the President assigns members to committees. The five at-large members, who represent the entire community, are Moné Holder (Group 1, (904) 255-5215), Ronald B. Salem (Group 2, (904) 255-5216), Nick Howland (Group 3, (904) 255-5217), Matt Carlucci (Group 4, (904) 255-5218) and Chris Miller (Group 5, (904) 255-5219).

To find the district member for a Jacksonville address, the council points to its Council District Search application, the My Neighborhood application on JaxGIS, or the council office at (904) 255-5200 (Jacksonville City Council). The council's staff contact page gives a different legislative line for the same office, (904) 255-5122 (City Council Staff and Contact Information). The council warns that under Florida law, email addresses are public records, so anyone who wants an address kept private should call or write instead. The Office of the City Council sits in City Hall, Suite 425, at 117 W. Duval Street, and its appointed Council Secretary/Director, Jason Teal, oversees council staff at (904) 255-5133 (City Council Staff and Contact Information). The Jacksonville guide to council members lists all 14 district seats.

Each Duval County constitutional officer publishes its own address and phone, from the Tax Collector on East Forsyth Street to the Clerk on West Adams Street.

The Duval County Tax Collector, Jim Overton, has his main office at 231 E. Forsyth Street, Jacksonville, FL 32202, phone (904) 255-5700, open Monday to Friday 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. (Duval County Tax Collector). The Supervisor of Elections, Jerry Holland, is at 105 E. Monroe Street, Jacksonville, FL 32202, phone 904-255-8683, according to the Florida Division of Elections (Duval County Supervisor of Elections). Joyce Morgan, CFA, is the Duval County Property Appraiser, and her office answers questions at 904-255-5900 (Duval County Property Appraiser).

Jody Phillips is Clerk of the Circuit Court for Duval County, an office the Clerk's site says was established as an elected constitutional office in 1838 (Duval Clerk of Courts). The downtown Jacksonville office at 501 W Adams St. is open Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and the Beaches office at 1543 Atlantic Blvd in Neptune Beach is open Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.; both use (904) 255-2000. T.K. Waters is Sheriff and heads the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office (Jacksonville Sheriff), which the city lists among its independent authorities and agencies (City of Jacksonville, Government).

The city's government directory also lists the Duval Legislative Delegation, the Duval County School Board and the governments of Atlantic Beach, Jacksonville Beach, Neptune Beach and the Town of Baldwin as Other Elected Officials.

The City of Jacksonville's government directory groups these under Other Elected Officials: the Duval Legislative Delegation, the Duval County School Board, the Sheriff, and the City of Atlantic Beach, City of Jacksonville Beach, City of Neptune Beach and Town of Baldwin (City of Jacksonville, Government). The same directory counts the School Board members among the constitutional officers, alongside the Tax Collector and the Clerk.

The council asks residents with legislative questions to call their district council member or the council office (Jacksonville City Council). The Tax Collector's site handles property taxes, tag and title services, driver license and ID services and local business tax (Duval County Tax Collector). The Clerk's site offers case documents, probate e-filing, small claims and public records requests, and the Clerk keeps a Beaches office at 1543 Atlantic Blvd in Neptune Beach (Duval Clerk of Courts). The Florida Division of Elections lists the Supervisor of Elections website as duvalelections.com (Duval County Supervisor of Elections). The Jacksonville guides to the Duval legislative delegation and to city elections cover the state seats and the election calendar.

The Duval County Tax Collector has consolidated two branches into a new St. Johns Square office on Beach Boulevard, and the Property Appraiser flags a property tax amendment on the November 3 ballot.

The Tax Collector announced on August 3, 2026 that its new full-service St. Johns Square Branch at 11160 Beach Blvd., Suite 121, would open to customers on August 10 and replace the Kernan and Hogan branches, and the office's welcome notice now says those two branches are permanently closed (Duval County Tax Collector). The same page lists November 1 as the date property tax collection for the 2026 roll begins, and it warns that the office is currently unable to process parking citations because of a system update by the Parking Department.

The Duval County Property Appraiser's website notice says the site has been transitioning beginning March 13, 2026, and that the office remains available by phone at 904-255-5900 during the change (Duval County Property Appraiser). The same Jacksonville page flags that voters will consider a proposed property tax amendment to the Florida Constitution, Amendment 3, on the November 3rd election ballot, and links a question and answer sheet on it. The Florida Division of Elections lists Supervisor of Elections Jerry Holland's office at 904-255-8683 and links the scheduled elections for Duval County (Duval County Supervisor of Elections).
