Beach Mosquito Control District

Originally formed as The Gulf Mosquito Control District on October 14, 1952 when the citizens of the Panama City Beach area voted to create a mosquito control district.


The District's name was changed to The Beach Mosquito Control District in early 1997. It operates under Chapter 388 of the Florida Statures and Rule 5E-13 under the Dept. of Agriculture and Consumer Services.


An Independent Special Taxing District, it is governed by a board of 3 commissioners that are elected by the voters in the District; each commissioner serves a 4 year term.


Funding is received to operate the District through the levying of a local ad valorem tax, and state matching funds.


The District is dedicated to the control of disease-bearing arthropods and nuisance insects for the betterment, comfort, health, welfare and prosperity of district inhabitants.
