If So, Your Population Estimate Needs Your Help
Your population estimate is important because it determines the amount of state and
federal dollars that your community receives. It is essential that the state knows of your
annexation in order to incorporate that area's population into your estimate.
Where to Report:
Report your annexation to the Florida Governor's Office and the Legislative Office of
Economic and Demographic Research in order to ensure that the University of Florida
knows that you had an annexation and that you qualify for all benefits available under
the law.
