Okaloosa County officials have announced that they will be conducting a comprehensive quality of life community survey beginning in the month of October. 

In the days to come, randomly selected residents living in the unincorporated areas of the county will receive a postcard invitation to complete the survey online. If the survey is not completed online, a reminder will be sent, along with a paper survey. 

  • Soon after, the county will announce the survey to open for all residents by visiting the Okaloosa County Board of County Commissioners’ website at myokaloosa.com.

 “We are excited to be conducting this survey,” says Okaloosa Board of County Commissioners Chairman Mel Ponder. “This survey will help Okaloosa County staff and board identify priorities for the community and improve the quality of life in Okaloosa County.”
