Contact
Inquiries directed to Florida Government Authority concern the structure, operations, and regulatory framework of Florida's state and local government sector. This page describes what information to include when submitting a message, how response timelines are structured, what alternative contact channels exist, and how to reach this office directly. Accurate, specific inquiries receive faster resolution than general requests.
What to include in your message
Effective inquiries require a minimum set of identifying information. Messages that omit critical context are routed to a lower-priority queue and may require a follow-up exchange before a substantive response can be issued.
Required elements for all inquiries:
- Subject area — Specify the branch, agency, or topic. Florida government encompasses 3 branches, 67 counties, and more than 1,600 active special districts. Naming the specific scope (e.g., Florida Department of Revenue, Florida Public Records Law, or Broward County) eliminates routing delays.
- Nature of inquiry — Distinguish between a correction request, a factual question, a research inquiry, or a report of outdated information.
- Supporting reference — If reporting an error, include the specific URL of the page in question and the passage at issue.
- Contact information — A valid reply-to email address. Phone numbers are optional for written inquiries.
- Urgency classification — Indicate whether the matter is time-sensitive and, if so, specify the operative deadline.
Requests related to specific Florida agencies — such as the Florida Department of Health, the Florida Department of Corrections, or the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation — should reference the relevant statute or administrative code section where applicable. This is particularly relevant for licensing, compliance, and enforcement inquiries.
Inquiries about Florida elections and voting, Florida public records law, or Florida lobbying and ethics laws carry distinct handling requirements and may be forwarded to specialized editorial staff.
Response expectations
Response timelines are segmented by inquiry type:
| Inquiry Type | Standard Response Window |
|---|---|
| Factual correction reports | 3–5 business days |
| General content inquiries | 5–7 business days |
| Research or data requests | 7–10 business days |
| Partnership or institutional inquiries | 10–14 business days |
Responses are issued by email to the address provided in the original message. No automated acknowledgment is guaranteed for all inquiry categories; the absence of an automated reply does not indicate the message was not received.
Incomplete messages — those missing a subject area, contact address, or description of the inquiry — are returned without substantive response. Resubmission with the required fields restarts the response timeline.
Correction requests that are validated against authoritative sources, including Florida Statutes published through the Florida Legislature's Online Sunshine system, the Florida Administrative Code, or official agency publications, are processed within the 3–5 business day window. Corrections that require independent verification extend to the 7–10 day range.
Additional contact options
Inquiries that fall outside the editorial scope of this reference property should be directed to primary government sources:
- Florida Division of Elections: dos.myflorida.com/elections — questions regarding voter registration, election administration, and candidate qualifying.
- Florida Commission on Ethics: ethics.state.fl.us — complaints and inquiries under Florida lobbying and ethics laws.
- Florida Department of State — Division of Library and Information Services: dos.myflorida.com/library-archives — public records access requests under Chapter 119, Florida Statutes.
- Florida Attorney General's Office: myfloridalegal.com — consumer protection complaints, Sunshine Law questions, and official opinions.
- Florida Office of the Governor: flgov.com — executive branch correspondence and constituent services.
For county-level matters, direct inquiries to the relevant county government structure or the clerk of court for the applicable jurisdiction. Florida's 67 counties each maintain independent clerk and constitutional officer offices.
