The judges looked for proficiencies in budgeting, innovation and automation, as well as a perfect annual audit report and a focus on customers.

They found the Lee County Tax Collector’s Office had enhanced its financial operations beyond the levels it demonstrated from 2010-17 by implementing new technology to streamline processes and partnering with companies to save time and money.
