About Intergovernmental Affairs
The Intergovernmental Affairs & Community Engagement Department connects Palm Beach County with local, state, and federal partners to advance the County’s priorities, strengthen relationships, and enhance public engagement. The Department encompasses the Legislative Affairs Division, the Palm Beach County Legislative Delegation Office, and the County’s Lobbyist Registration Office.
Serving as a liaison to Palm Beach County’s 39 municipalities and several local chambers of commerce, the Department facilitates collaboration on shared priorities and provides timely updates on legislative and policy developments. The team also assists with coordination of federal and state grant opportunities, helping County departments and local partners secure funding for important community projects. In addition, the Department delivers regular presentations to civic organizations and community groups on local, state, and federal issues that impact residents.
As the hub for the Lobbyist Registration Office, the Department manages local lobbyist registration for Palm Beach County government and for the majority of the County’s municipalities, ensuring compliance with local regulations and transparency in advocacy.
Through its divisions and functions, the Intergovernmental Affairs & Community Engagement Department works to build partnerships, advocate effectively, and keep the public informed, strengthening Palm Beach County’s voice and influence at every level of government.
