VI §4(c)). A mid-term vacancy is filled by the Governor alone, with no Senate vote and no election (F.S. 14.055), so the seat is not always held by someone voters chose for it.

VIII §1(g)), while a non-charter county holds only the powers the Legislature granted it (Art. VIII §1(f)). A charter can also change the size of the board and create an elected county mayor (Art.

SheriffThe county’s elected chief law-enforcement officer: patrols the unincorporated county, serves court process, provides courthouse security and runs the county jail in most counties (a few, including Miami-Dade, run jails through a county corrections department). The commission sets the budget, but the sheriff answers to voters, not to the commission.Who elects it: CountywideTerm: 4 yearsLimits and caveats: No term limits. Until the 2018 constitutional amendment (Amendment 10) required every county to elect a sheriff, a charter could replace the office. Miami-Dade ran an appointed police director for decades and seated its first elected sheriff in January 2025.

Clerk of the Circuit CourtKeeper of the county’s records: court files, deeds and official records, marriage licenses, jury management, and child-support and traffic payments. Where the charter has not split the job, the same officer is also county auditor and custodian of county funds as comptroller.Who elects it: CountywideTerm: 4 yearsLimits and caveats: No term limits. Art. VIII §1(d) bars a county charter from moving the clerk’s duties to anyone else; only a special law approved by the county’s voters, or a split under Art. V §16, can divide them, which is why some ballots read "Clerk of the Circuit Court & Comptroller" and others read "Clerk of the Circuit Court" beside a separate county comptroller.

County MayorAn elected county executive, which only a county charter can create. In Miami-Dade the mayor heads the county government: runs every administrative department, appoints the department directors (the commission can block an appointment by a two-thirds vote), and can veto a commission decision within ten days, which the commission can override by a two-thirds vote. The mayor may speak at commission meetings but does not vote there (Miami-Dade Home Rule Charter §2.02).Who elects it: CountywideTerm: Set by the county charter: 4 years in Miami-DadeLimits and caveats: Whether the office exists, and its veto, hiring and budget powers, are charter choices (Art. VIII §1(e) and (g)). In a county with no elected mayor the commission picks one of its members to chair the board, and a county administrator it hires runs the departments.

SheriffThe county’s elected chief law-enforcement officer: patrols the unincorporated county, serves court process, provides courthouse security and runs the county jail in most counties (a few, including Miami-Dade, run jails through a county corrections department).

Art. VIII §1(d) bars a county charter from moving the clerk’s duties to anyone else; only a special law approved by the county’s voters, or a split under Art. V §16, can divide them, which is why some ballots read "Clerk of the Circuit Court & Comptroller" and others read "Clerk of the Circuit Court" beside a separate county comptroller.

MayorWhat a mayor can do is set by the city charter, and the gap is enormous. In a strong-mayor city the mayor is the chief executive: proposes the budget, hires and fires department heads, and can veto council votes (New York City and Jacksonville work this way). In a council-manager city the mayor is one commissioner among equals, chosen to preside, while a professional city manager the commission hires actually runs the departments. Sarasota works this way, and its five commissioners pick the mayor for a one-year term.Who elects it: Citywide under a strong-mayor charter. Under a council-manager charter the mayor holds an ordinary district or at-large commission seat and is chosen by fellow commissioners, not by the city’s voters.Term: Set by the city charter: four years for an elected strong mayor in New York or Jacksonville, one year for a presiding mayor the commission rotates in Sarasota.Limits and caveats: Term limits, veto power, hiring power and budget authority are all charter choices, not state law. Read the city charter before assuming a mayor can hire, fire, veto or spend anything.

MayorWhat a mayor can do is set by the city charter, and the gap is enormous. In a strong-mayor city the mayor is the chief executive: proposes the budget, hires and fires department heads, and can veto council votes (New York City and Jacksonville work this way). In a council-manager city the mayor is one commissioner among equals, chosen to preside, while a professional city manager the commission hires actually runs the departments. Sarasota works this way, and its five commissioners pick the mayor for a one-year term.Who elects it: Citywide under a strong-mayor charter. Under a council-manager charter the mayor holds an ordinary district or at-large commission seat and is chosen by fellow commissioners, not by the city’s voters.Term: Set by the city charter: four years for an elected strong mayor in New York or Jacksonville, one year for a presiding mayor the commission rotates in Sarasota.Limits and caveats: Term limits, veto power, hiring power and budget authority are all charter choices, not state law. Read the city charter before assuming a mayor can hire, fire, veto or spend anything.

Vice MayorPresides when the mayor cannot. In a council-manager city this is an internal title a sitting commissioner holds for a year, not a separate executive office, and it adds no authority over city departments or staff.Who elects it: The commission or council seat the officeholder already holdsTerm: Usually one year as vice mayor, on top of the underlying commission termLimits and caveats: Defined entirely by the city charter; some charters have no vice mayor at all.

In a council-manager city the mayor is one commissioner among equals, chosen to preside, while a professional city manager the commission hires actually runs the departments. Sarasota works this way, and its five commissioners pick the mayor for a one-year term.Who elects it: Citywide under a strong-mayor charter. Under a council-manager charter the mayor holds an ordinary district or at-large commission seat and is chosen by fellow commissioners, not by the city’s voters.Term: Set by the city charter: four years for an elected strong mayor in New York or Jacksonville, one year for a presiding mayor the commission rotates in Sarasota.Limits and caveats: Term limits, veto power, hiring power and budget authority are all charter choices, not state law. Read the city charter before assuming a mayor can hire, fire, veto or spend anything.

MayorWhat a mayor can do is set by the city charter, and the gap is enormous. In a strong-mayor city the mayor is the chief executive: proposes the budget, hires and fires department heads, and can veto council votes (New York City and Jacksonville work this way). In a council-manager city the mayor is one commissioner among equals, chosen to preside, while a professional city manager the commission hires actually runs the departments. Sarasota works this way, and its five commissioners pick the mayor for a one-year term.Who elects it: Citywide under a strong-mayor charter. Under a council-manager charter the mayor holds an ordinary district or at-large commission seat and is chosen by fellow commissioners, not by the city’s voters.Term: Set by the city charter: four years for an elected strong mayor in New York or Jacksonville, one year for a presiding mayor the commission rotates in Sarasota.Limits and caveats: Term limits, veto power, hiring power and budget authority are all charter choices, not state law. Read the city charter before assuming a mayor can hire, fire, veto or spend anything.

MayorWhat a mayor can do is set by the city charter, and the gap is enormous. In a strong-mayor city the mayor is the chief executive: proposes the budget, hires and fires department heads, and can veto council votes (New York City and Jacksonville work this way). In a council-manager city the mayor is one commissioner among equals, chosen to preside, while a professional city manager the commission hires actually runs the departments. Sarasota works this way, and its five commissioners pick the mayor for a one-year term.Who elects it: Citywide under a strong-mayor charter. Under a council-manager charter the mayor holds an ordinary district or at-large commission seat and is chosen by fellow commissioners, not by the city’s voters.Term: Set by the city charter: four years for an elected strong mayor in New York or Jacksonville, one year for a presiding mayor the commission rotates in Sarasota.Limits and caveats: Term limits, veto power, hiring power and budget authority are all charter choices, not state law. Read the city charter before assuming a mayor can hire, fire, veto or spend anything.
