Sarasota County's 2025 accomplishments reflect our commitments to improving quality of life and supporting infrastructure. Support for these actions was confirmed by our annual citizen survey: 95 percent of respondents rated their quality of life in Sarasota County as good or excellent and of those respondents that have contacted the county for assistance, 90 percent said they received correct information from county staff.
