A recent question from a community member: I’m new to Palm Coast and I’m confused.  I get information from both the City and the County and it’s hard for me to understand which one oversees which service.  What’s the difference between the two of them?

This is an often-asked question, not only from new residents, but also from those who’ve lived here for years. Both Flagler County and the city of Palm Coast offer essential services to their constituents. In some instances, these services overlap and in some they work independently, contingent on where you live or what assistance you need. Hopefully, I can clarify some of the functions for you.
