Welcome to our beautiful community! Whether you are looking to relocate a business, your family or both we think that Bay County can meet your needs.

Bay County is located in Northwest Florida between Pensacola and Tallahassee, one hundred miles from either destination. Our community is home to one of the newest airports in the U.S., Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport, which now has connected us to the world with service provided by Southwest as well as Delta airlines.

Bay County is comprised of seven municipalities with their own mayor/commissioner form of government – Panama City, Panama City Beach, Lynn Haven, Springfield, Mexico Beach, Callaway and Parker. The Bay County Commission governs over the unincorporated areas of the community. You can find more details on each by clicking on each of the areas labeled on the map below.
