Volusia County
Volusia County
Volusia County is on Florida's east coast between Brevard and Flagler counties, anchored by Daytona Beach (largest urban center) and DeLand (county seat). The economy combines tourism (Daytona, NASCAR, Bike Week), Embry-Riddle and Stetson universities, healthcare (AdventHealth, Halifax), and a fast-growing master-planned-community pipeline (Latitude Margaritaville). The Clerk & Comptroller (Laura E. Roth) runs Acclaim records and a clerk-operated tax deed system on RealAuction.
