Pasco County
Pasco County sits north of Tampa Bay along Florida's Gulf Coast, anchored by Dade City (county seat) and the rapidly growing Wesley Chapel/Land O'Lakes corridor. The economy mixes Tampa-commuter housing, healthcare, retail, and master-planned-community construction. The Clerk & Comptroller (Nikki Alvarez-Sowles) runs Civitek records and a clerk-operated tax deed system on RealAuction.
