The Florida Commission on Ethics prepares a list of persons holding governmental positions who are required to file a financial disclosure for the previous year. The Ethics Commission obtains the name and address of each individual from coordinators who have been designated from each state and local government agency.
As an office holder, you may be required to file a Form 1 Statement of Financial Interests or Form 6 Full and Public Financial Disclosure within 60 days of appointment. Form 1F is required to be filed by officers within 60 days of leaving office.
For questions regarding what information to disclose on your financial form or to determine if you are required to file, please review the detailed instructions attached to the form or contact the Florida Commission on Ethics at (850) 488-7864 or visit their website.
