PENSACOLA HUMANE SOCIETY'S ANNUAL FUR BALL

PBy Chloe Cadenhead

ensacola animal lovers are coughing it up for the fifth annual Fur Ball on March 29. Come dressed to impress and have a lint roller on standby for the Pensacola Humane Society’s most pawsomely heartwarming event of the year—Fur Ball.

Since 1943, the Pensacola Humane Society (PHS) has been a leading force in animal welfare. In 1985, PHS became a no-kill shelter, prioritizing the lives of those who can’t advocate for themselves. Originally, the shelter was operated by only one person, but today, PHS has more than a dozen employees with hundreds of volunteers.

Making its debut in 2019, this black-tie gala was created to increase revenue for the PHS by hosting another fundraising event alongside their already well-established Barktoberfest and Paws on Palafox. The Fur Ball quickly became their most successful fundraiser, bringing in $130,000 in 2024 alone.

Eloise Lautier, Secretary of the PHS Board of Directors and Fur Ball event chair, joined forces with Deborah Dunlap, Michelle Sauls, board members and a small committee of local volunteers to host the Humane Society’s annual fundraising event. “The money raised goes entirely to benefit Pensacola Humane Society and

the work we do for homeless, abandoned and neglected animals,” Lautier explained.

With tickets selling out each year, the Fur Ball serves as an important funding source for our local Humane Society and the animals it serves.

This year’s Fur Ball will be held on March 29 at 5:30 pm at the Pensacola Yacht Club located at 1897 Cyprus Street. Each ticket includes live music, wine, dinner, cocktails, auctions and, of course, a chance to meet some new furry friends. During the Yappy Hour, PHS will host its beloved Puppy Parade and Cat Walk in which guests can mingle with adoptable pets and hear their stories.

One of the biggest events each year is the auctions. Past auction prizes span a broad range of goodies, from art prints to a guitar signed by Prince. For the first time in Fur Ball history, this year’s auction will include an exciting vacation package.

Perhaps the most notable prize of the evening is the Bow Wow Wow Wow! Table auction at the beginning of the night. Each winner moves to a special seat at the table set with piles of gifts and spirits. They also gain access to an open bar all evening.

Above all else, Fur Ball is a chance to give back to the community while having a glitzy night of fun. All proceeds from the event go directly toward the animals.

Because the Humane Society does not receive federal, state or city funding, all funding comes from grants and fundraisers like Fur Ball.

“I’ve always really loved animals and the Fur Ball makes me feel like I’m doing something that will help them,” Lautier said.

Fur Ball tickets are on sale now for $175 each. Event sponsorship opportunities are also still available. For tickets and more information on event sponsorship, contact Eloise Lautier at (850) 450-8958. Stay up to date on all future events, adoptable pets and volunteer opportunities by following the Pensacola Humane Society on Facebook and Instagram, and by visiting the website at pensacolahumane.org. ■

JEREMIAH’S ITALIAN ICE NOW OPEN IN PENSACOLA

Jeremiah’s Italian Ice® is now open in Pensacola on Nine Mile Road. The flavorful franchise, which opened its first Gulf Coast shop in Navarre in 2023, serves three types of confections: traditional soft ice cream, Italian ice, and Jeremiah’s own Jelati. The official grand opening celebration for the Pensacola shop is set for April 12, 2025.

Owner Tom Kennedy said Jeremiah’s Italian Ice was a family tradition that turned into an obsession.

“My first taste of Jeremiah’s Italian Ice is an experience I’ll never forget,” Kennedy said. “In 2002, I took my daughters, Trina and Alyssa, to a UCF game in Orlando, and afterward, we went out for ice cream. From that point on, it became a tradition.

“I had season tickets to UCF football and would take my two teenage daughters,” he said. “We had so many great memories at Jeremiah’s—it became something we did after every game. After a while, Jeremiah’s became the destination, and the game came second.”

As time went on, his daughters grew up and went away to college. Life got busy, and the trips to Jeremiah’s became less frequent.

Almost 17 years later, in 2019, Kennedy and his wife, Lisa, went to Orlando to have Thanksgiving with their now-grown daughter. For old times’ sake, they decided to visit Jeremiah’s—and that’s when he saw a small sign advertising Jeremiah’s Italian Ice franchises.

“Being in Jeremiah’s brought back so many great memories with my girls,” Kennedy

said. “When I saw the franchise sign, something just clicked—I knew I had to share Jeremiah’s with others. Everyone should have the chance to experience these great feelings and make these great memories.”

Flash forward to 2025, and Kennedy has opened his second shop — this one with an added bonus — a drive through.

“We’re so thrilled to be opening right here in Pensacola and with the added convenience of a drive through,” Kennedy said. “And it’s important that people know Jeremiah’s philosophy is a total commitment to the community. That’s what we’ve done in Navarre, and we plan to do the same in Pensacola. Jeremiah’s is very involved, and our culture is to give back.”

Hours:

• Sunday through Thursday: 12 p.m. to 10 p.m.

• Friday and Saturday: 12 p.m. to 11 p.m.

PPBEP LAUNCHES LIVING SHORELINE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM TO HELP COASTAL RESIDENTS COMBAT EROSION

The Pensacola & Perdido Bays Estuary Program (PPBEP) is pleased to announce the launch of the Living Shoreline Assistance Program to help waterfront property owners and community groups address shoreline erosion in the Pensacola and Perdido Bay watersheds.

Across the Pensacola and Perdido Bay Watersheds, coastlines are threatened by erosion and shoreline hardening, impacting both coastal residents and our local waters.

A "living shoreline" is a nature-based approach to protecting coastal shorelines. Living shorelines use elements like native plants or oyster shell to keep shorelines stable while replicating natural shoreline ecosystems. "Hybrid shorelines" are also used, blending natural elements with non-living materials like rocks or artificial oyster reefs when needed. Both living and hybrid shorelines help prevent erosion, create habitat for wildlife, and improve water quality.

While bulkheads and other “hard” structures have been traditional solutions for erosion, living shorelines are more effective, sustainable, and typically more cost-efficient over time. They better withstand storms and provide added benefits like flood mitigation, shoreline stabilization, and habitat creation.

Increased shoreline hardening has dramatically altered the Pensacola and Perdido Bay Watersheds, with roughly 55% of Pensacola Bay and 27% of Perdido Bay shorelines now hardened. Through this Program, PPBEP aims to reduce additional shoreline hardening across the bays and promote the use of living shorelines.

The PPBEP Living Shoreline Assistance Program empowers coastal property owners to implement a living or hybrid shoreline to benefit both their property and our local waters. Program assistance includes technical resources, expert design guidance, help navigating the permitting process, and financial assistance to make projects more affordable. Through the Living Shoreline Assistance Program, PPBEP aims to restore residents’ connection to their coastline.

The Program will provide assistance in two phases. The first phase will support projects in the Perdido Bay Watershed and will run

from January 1, 2025, to December 31, 2025. The second phase will support projects in the Pensacola Bay Watershed and will take place from August 1, 2025, to December 31, 2026.

MILLION IN SCHOLARSHIPS OFFERED FOR FLORIDA HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS IN ANNUAL HOSPITALITY COMPETITIONS

The Florida Restaurant and Lodging Association Educational Foundation (FRLAEF) proudly announces the winners of its recent statewide high school hospitality competitions – the ProStart Culinary Team Competition and the Hospitality & Tourism Management Competition.

Last weekend, 400 students from over 40 Florida high schools competed in Culinary, Management, Edible Centerpiece, and Waiter’s Relay events at the 24th annual ProStart event. At the Salute to Excellence Award ceremony, winners received scholarships from the Culinary Institute of America, Culinary Institute of Virginia, Florida International University, Keiser University, Nicholls State University, and UCF’s Rosen College of Hospitality. Culinary competition winners also earned full scholarships to Hillsborough Culinary Academies at Erwin Technical College. First place teams in culinary and management will represent Florida at the national ProStart Invitational in Washington, D.C. this May.

"We are incredibly proud of the talent and dedication shown by these students during the 24th annual ProStart and HTM events,” said Laura Rumer, Director of the FRLA Educational Foundation. "These competitions highlight their skills and passion for the industry. It's inspiring to see so many receive scholarships and recognition for their hard work. Congratulations to all the winners, and we look forward to seeing them represent Florida at the national ProStart Invitational in Washington, D.C. this May."

March is National Nutrition Month, an opportunity to reflect on diet and its impact on overall health. A powerful but often-overlooked contributor to diet’s effect on wellness is dental health.

“Sometimes we silo our health and think about nutrition in one place and dental health and overall wellness in other places,” said Laura Acosta, instructional associate professor in the UF/IFAS food science and human nutrition department. “But the truth is, they are all inextricably intertwined.”

Acosta, a dietitian, is among the few higher education nutrition instructors in the country who integrates dental health into her curriculum. Below, she explains the interconnectedness of food, dental health and overall wellness.

What oral diseases are commonly associated with poor nutrition?

Worldwide, about 3.5 billion people suffer from oral disease. The most common issues are tooth decay and periodontal disease. Periodontal disease affects the structures supporting the teeth, including bone, gums and ligaments, which leads to gum recession.

How can oral diseases cause poor nutrition and poor physical health?

Oral diseases cause pain and tooth loss over time, which make it more difficult to eat and chew efficiently. This potentially leads to decreased nutritional intake and increased risk of malnutrition. Also, chronic infections in the mouth contribute to systemic, or body-wide, inflammation, which can cause protein and muscle breakdown, further limiting chewing efficiency. A common response is to reach for easy-tochew, but not necessarily healthy, foods. It becomes a vicious cycle.

How are oral disease and chronic health conditions connected?

There is a consistent pattern showing the prevalence of certain pathogenic, or disease-causing, bacteria in the mouths of people with major chronic conditions. Topping the list is Porphyromonas gingivalis, the bacteria most ubiquitously associated with periodontal disease. Individuals with periodontal disease are about twice as likely to develop cardiovascular disease, about 2.5 times more likely to develop cancer and about twice as likely to develop Alzheim -

needs of hospitality employers across the world. Each year, Florida's HTM students compete at the state level to showcase the skills they have learned in the classroom.

About the Florida Restaurant and Lodging Association

The Florida Restaurant and Lodging Association (FRLA) is Florida’s premier nonprofit hospitality industry trade association. Founded in 1946 as the Florida Restaurant Association, FRLA merged with the Florida Hotel and Motel Association in 2006. FRLA’s more than 10,000 members include independent hoteliers and restaurateurs, household name franchises, theme parks, and suppliers. The association’s mission is to protect, educate, and promote Florida’s $111.7 billion hospitality industry which represents nearly two million employees. Dedicated to safeguarding the needs of its membership, FRLA provides legislative advocacy to ensure the voices of its members are heard and their interests are protected. The association offers regulatory compliance and food safety training through SafeStaff® and FRLA’s subsidiary, RCS Training. The FRLA Educational Foundation provides industry-developed, career-building high school programs throughout the state.

er’s disease. Their risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is 28% greater, and they are 65% more likely to have sleep apnea. Whether these conditions make individuals more susceptible to periodontal disease or whether periodontal disease increases the risk of these conditions is something we’re trying to tease out in the science. But the association does exist, and these are staggering statistics.

What foods and drinks should be avoided?

Starchy, refined carbs like those found in bread, pasta, French fries, crackers, pizza and sugary foods stick to teeth and promote a microbial imbalance and even pathogenic bacteria. And acidic and sugary drinks like fruit juice, coffee and soda degrade tooth enamel and support cavity-causing bacteria. What foods and drinks are beneficial for dental health?

Consider food reminiscent of the Mediterranean diet: whole, minimally processed items with anti-inflammatory effects. That includes fresh fruits and vegetables containing antioxidants and polyphenols, or plant compounds, and foods high in omega-3 fatty acids, like fatty fish.

But snacking on even healthy foods throughout the day should be avoided because some otherwise smart choices like fruit expose teeth to acid and sugar. Strategize and concentrate beneficial citrus and berries during meals to limit exposure.

Green tea contains a dietary compound called Epigallocatechin gallate, or EGCG, a powerful anti-inflammatory antioxidant with antimicrobial properties. EGCG has been shown to slow down and even prevent recession. It could be an additional tool in the arsenal against oral disease.

The City of Pensacola set aside $1,011,000 of American Rescue Plan Act funds for clients who are experiencing homelessness and who were most affected by the economic hardships brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic. These funds will be used to purchase individual housing units and/or hygiene units from Pallet PBC, located in Everett, Washington. The city is now seeking proposals from qualified non-profit organizations to collaborate in providing sheltering services to individuals experiencing homelessness. This initiative aims to expand the availability of safe, temporary housing and supportive

services to address the needs of homeless individuals within Escambia County. The city's participation will include providing small transitory and semi-permanent housing for agencies that can support the installation, maintenance and upkeep of these units while providing supportive and wrap-around services to unhoused individuals.

This Request for Proposals opens March 14, 2025 and has a submission deadline of April 14, 2025.

Questions about this RFP can be emailed to Amy Lovoy, City of Pensacola Finance Director at alovoy@cityofpensacola.com.

PAM HEALTH AND BAPTIST HEALTH CARE ANNOUNCE JOINT VENTURE TO

OPEN 40-BED REHABILITATION HOSPITAL IN PENSACOLA

PAM Health and Baptist Health Care have announced plans for a 40 bed physical medicine and rehabilitation hospital. The hospital will be located on the third and fourth floors of Catalyst HRE’s Henderson Health Center on the Baptist Hospital campus in Pensacola.

The 40,000-square-foot rehabilitation hospital will be PAM Health’s ninth in the state. Construction is slated to begin in May 2025 with an anticipated opening in spring/ summer 2026. The new hospital will create approximately 80 new jobs including medical professional and support staff positions.

“We are excited to partner with Baptist Health Care, a well-respected organization that has been serving the medical needs of Florida Panhandle residents for more than 70 years. Together we are looking forward to providing high-quality, comprehensive inpatient rehabilitation care to the residents of northwest Florida and south Alabama,” Founder, Chairman and CEO of PAM Health Anthony Misitano said. “With millions of people in this region, access to top tier rehabilitation services is essential for optimizing recovery after an injury, surgery or illness.

“Our collaboration with PAM Health will continue to elevate access and continuity of care for patients. We are excited to further realize the vision of our main campus by providing these additional inpatient rehabilitation services, creating new jobs and advancing our

mission,” President and CEO of Baptist Health Care Mark Faulkner said. “We look forward to working with PAM Health and continuing to serve as the trusted partner in our community.”

“Catalyst is proud to support this partnership between PAM Health and Baptist Health Care by providing a state-of-theart space within the Henderson Health Center,” Vice President Development Brandon McFarren said. “The addition of PAM Health's services aligns with our mission to enhance access to high-quality care. We look forward to seeing its positive impact on the Pensacola community and beyond.”

PAM Health will fully lease and operate the new hospital. It will receive referrals from all hospitals in the region and will offer inpatient rehabilitation services, including physical, occupational and speech therapy. These comprehensive, individualized treatments aim to enhance patient recovery and outcomes. The hospital will serve patients recovering from debilitating illnesses and injuries, including traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries, strokes and other neurological disorders, cardiac conditions, amputations, orthopedic and post surgical conditions. PAM Health hospitals are also known nationally for their workers’ compensations programs, assisting injured employees regain their optimal potential.

CITY OF PENSACOLA DONATES

$100,000 TO LAUNCH "HAND UP FOR YOUTH" PROGRAM

The Children’s Home Society of Florida (CHS) recently announced a generous $100,000 donation from the City of Pensacola to launch the “Hand Up for Youth” Program, which aims to address the increasing number of homeless youth in the community.

The funding will allow CHS to expand its services and create long term solutions for young people experiencing homelessness.

“A lot of times when you’re driving around, you do see homeless people in our community, but you don’t see homeless youth if you think about it,” CHS Executive Director Leah Harrison said. “They’re not standing on the side of the road with signs. They are sometimes couch surfing, sometimes in unsafe situations that put them at risk.”

The Florida Department of Education reported that Escambia County saw 1,913 homeless youth during the last school year, an 11 percent increase from the previous year.

“We see a lot of kids for a variety of reasons, but a lot of these kids aged out of the foster care system,” Harrison said. “Especially those who are 18 — very different from me at 18 and many others at 18 .”

The "Hand Up for Youth" Program will focus on two main areas: Supportive permanent housing for youth ages 18 to 23 and hosting homes for homeless youth ages 16 to

17. Harrison explained that at least 15 people between the ages of 18 and 23 will live in an apartment with the first few months rent free.

“This will give them an ability to — depending on the kid — one to six months of rent,” Harrison explained. “Most of them will probably do three to six months, and after that they will take over the lease and they’re able to continue on and work and pay their rent.”

They must have a job for at least 90 days. The goal is to provide safe housing and boost independence. For those ages 16 and 17, Harrison says they’ll be placed in host homes that are similar to foster homes.

“Taking them to school or making sure they go to school, they (host families) will receive a stipend which is part of where that funding is going,” Harrison said. “And then house, feed them, clothe them, all of those things and really just provide a positive adult in their life.”

Harrison says there will be case management for 18 months to ensure they meet their goals and requirements. Then, there’s one year of follow-up services.

For more information about the "Hand Up for Youth" Program, becoming a host home, or supporting this initiative, contact the Director of Homeless Youth Programming Kelli Foster at kelli.foster@chsfl.org.

SEE HOW FLORIDA 4-H CONNECTS YOUTH FROM URBAN COMMUNITIES WITH THE FOOD THEY EAT

Many youth don’t feel connected with the food they eat or how it’s grown, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

To combat this issue, Florida 4-H has partnered with the Miami-Dade County Youth Fair Expo to present Howdy Days – a hands-on, educational initiative that has engaged students for over 20 years. This annual, two-day program, led by Florida 4-H volunteers and members, offers students in grades K-8 an opportunity to learn where their food comes from and the professions that make it happen.

Howdy Days connects youth to local food systems through interactive stations. Students will rotate through activities like milking cows and goats, making butter, identifying fruits and vegetables, learning about beneficial and harmful insects, practicing food safety and exploring plant anatomy. Each 10-minute session aims to provide practical, memorable lessons that students can take home with them.

On March 17 and 18, from 9 a.m. to 1p.m., more than 300 students from Miami-Dade County public and charter schools will attend a 70-minute session filled with activities that will teach them:

• Where does the milk you buy at the supermarket come from?

FARM BUT NO FOWL: HOW FLORIDA AQUACULTURE IS GROWING THE ECONOMY

Florida’s thriving aquaculture industry is a vital part of the state’s economy, generating more than $165 million in sales annually and supporting jobs across rural and coastal communities. Recognized as agriculture by the Florida Legislature in 1993, aquaculture contributes to food security, environmental sustainability and economic resilience.

“Just like terrestrial, land-based agriculture, aquaculture is the process of growing or raising a product,” said Shirley Baker, UF/ IFAS professor of aquaculture and associate director of the School of Forest, Fisheries and Geomatics Sciences. “The people who do the work consider themselves farmers. Their products are simply plants and animals grown or raised underwater.”

Overseen by the Florida Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services (FDACS), the industry includes an estimated 1,500 varieties of food fish, bait fish, mollusks, aquatic plants, alligators, turtles, crustaceans, amphibians, caviar and ornamental fish. With proper regulatory support, aquaculture can continue to be a driving force in Florida’s economy and environmental stewardship.

The hallmark of Florida aquaculture is ornamental, or tropical fish, the saltwater and freshwater species bred for aquariums. In 2023, the sector generated more than $57 million, making the state the country’s top pet fish producer. In fact, 95% of ornamental fish in the United States come from the Sunshine State.

About 90% of Florida’s ornamental fish are freshwater varieties. Farmers primarily raise live-bearing species in sterilized earthen ponds dug into loam or bedrock. They fill ponds with sexually mature fish called broodstock and harvest offspring using baited traps. Most egg-laying fish are grown in commercial hatcheries.

Like ornamental fish, the demand for farmed seafood has grown as wild-caught sources are increasingly depleted. Globally, more than 50% of all seafood for human consumption is produced through aquaculture.

“Seafood is considered one of the most in-demand sources of lean protein in the world, and it has to come from somewhere,” said Matthew DiMaggio, director of the UF/ IFAS Tropical Aquaculture Laboratory in Ruskin. “The ocean can't produce any more than it already has, so aquaculture has to make up the deficit.”

In Florida, as the number of fish farms and the scale of their operations have grown, the value of food fish sales has skyrocketed. Between 2018 and 2023, sales rose from $4 million to $26 million, a 550% increase.

Some of the most common Florida food fish are tilapia, striped bass, cobia, pompano and red drum. They’re housed in various ways. Operations can include fiberglass

ponds, vats and tanks inside greenhouses and recirculating systems occupying entire warehouses. Farmers typically start with fingerlings, or juvenile fish, purchased from reputable suppliers.

Aquaculture farmers share their experiences Evans Farm of Pierson, Florida, is among the pioneering food fish farms in the state.

Originally cattle farmers, the company expanded to sell tilapia, striped bass and caviar harvested from sturgeon. Fish are kept in filtered, recirculating ponds and long tanks known as raceways. They’re transported live to grocery stores and markets in vans outfitted with tanks and filtration systems.

“Our fish are thriving, and they’re healthy. We grow them with great water quality, and we feed them excellent food,” said Jane Davis, who owns the business with her mother and brothers. “Although they’re raised in water, they’re no different than other agriculture crops, whether it's cattle, chickens or anything else.”

Mollusks are another significant contributor to Florida aquaculture. While the sector includes oysters and scallops, clams are the dominating commodity; in 2023, they brought in $32 million of the state’s $43 million in mollusk sales.

Clam farmers generally obtain grainsized seed clams from hatcheries. The smallest varieties are initially cared for in nursery systems. Once the shells become large enough, they’re transferred to bags submerged off the coast.

Cedar Key resident Heath Davis, no relation to Jane Davis, transitioned from fishing to clam farming in the mid-1990s. He and his father, Mike Davis, own Cedar Key Seafarms, one of the state’s leading wholesale clam distributors.

“Before, as fishermen, we would go out and place nets wherever we thought the fish were,” Heath Davis said. “But clamming is like farming. We lease a 2-acre, underwater plot from the state and harvest the product from our designated field.”

The Florida Aquaculture Plan

In November, the Florida Aquaculture Review Council, the official conduit between FDACS and farmers, published the latest revision of the Florida Aquaculture Plan, a detailed list of research and development priorities.

Florida’s climate, infrastructure, streamlined regulations and positive business environment have positioned the state to become the national leader in aquaculture, but innovation is required to remain competitive, according to the document.

It’s a message Heath Davis echoed.

“Aquaculture farming is such a huge part of Florida’s economy,” he said. “It could hold some of the answers needed to sustain the growing number of people living on this peninsula.”

SANTA ROSA COUNTY CLERK OF COURT IMPROVES TOURIST DEVELOPMENT TAX ONLINE FILING SYSTEM

Information provided by the Santa Rosa County Clerk of Courts

• How is butter purchased at the supermarket made?

• What are parts of a plant and how to grow food from a Dutch bucket?

What are local food systems and what is their role in our communities?

• What are examples of sustainable agriculture in South Florida?

“Many young students have never seen a real farm animal or understand where their food comes from. Through Howdy Days, kids engage with live animals, learn about food production, and interact with experts to gain a deeper appreciation for the journey that food takes from farm to table,” said Whtiney Thames, Florida 4H agent at UF/IFAS Extension Miami Dade County and workforce development specialist. About Florida 4-H 4-H is the youth development program of the land-grant university system and Cooperative Extension System. The program provides hands-on educational programs and experiences for youth ages 5 to 18 with the objective of developing youth as individuals, and as responsible and productive citizens. In Florida, 4-H is administered by University of Florida/IFAS Extension and Florida A&M University.

The Santa Rosa County Clerk of Court is implementing a new and improved Tourist Development Tax online filing system effective April 1, 2025 that is designed to enhance user experience and streamline the tax filing process for our customers.

In preparation to go live with the new system, the current Excise tax system will be unavailable beginning March 25.

Starting Tuesday, April 1, the new online system will be live and ready for use, with features that simplify the filing process, increase accessibility, and provide better support for customers. All users are encouraged to take advantage of the upgraded system and familiarize themselves with the new interface after it launches. Find more information online at santarosaclerk.com/ other-services/tourist-development-tax.

During the downtime, businesses and operators are encouraged to collect the necessary information ahead of the transi -

tion. Management companies, owner representatives, and individuals/companies leasing property short-term that is owned by others are required to upload their agreement with the property owner when prompted by the new system. The agreement must contain the provisions required by 12A-1.061 (4) (d) 3, Florida Administrative Code. In lieu of the agreement, a Property Owner’s Authorization and Acknowledgment form with the property owner’s original signature may be uploaded. The Property Owner’s Authorization and Acknowledgment form can be found by selecting Tourist Development Tax from the Santa Rosa Clerk of Court website, santarosaclerk.com.

Additional information and answers to frequently asked questions are also available from the Santa Rosa Clerk of Court website. For questions, contact the Santa Rosa County Tourist Development Tax Office by email at touristdevelopmenttax@santarosaclerks.com.
