Relocation Information

Welcome to Bay County, Florida!
We are glad you’re considering a move to our part of Florida’s great northwest!  Bay County is comprised of eight separate municipalities governed by a mayor/commission form of government. Those eight municipalities include the cities of Panama City, Panama City Beach, Lynn Haven, Springfield, Mexico Beach, Callaway, Parker and Cedar Grove. The Bay County Commission governs unincorporated portions of our community.

For many years Bay County was Florida’s best kept secret. However, the word is out and we are experiencing an explosive growth. You can not go wrong by investing in our community and now is the time.

Our local economy is thriving. The economic anchors in our community are tourism, military and a diverse group of local industries ranging from call centers of nationally known companies to major manufacturers. We are home to Tyndall Air Force Base and the Naval Support Activity (navy base) which employ over 8,800 military and civilians. As a major tourism destination we are also home to the World’s Most Beautiful Beaches which consist of over 27 miles of beautiful white sandy beaches.

We invite you to live, work, and play in paradise!
