OpenGov is an interactive online portal that provides access to county financial records. Users can search the county’s “checkbook” by vendor name, review one-cent surtax expenses and revenues, the county’s annual revenues and expenses and more.
OpenGov is available at palmbeachcountyfl.opengov.com and can also be found under the County Financial Information section at www.mypalmbeachclerk.com/countyfinances.
Clerk Abruzzo chose the 20th anniversary of Sunshine Week, which runs from March 16 to 22 this year, to launch the OpenGov financial transparency tool for Palm Beach County.

As Clerk of the Circuit Court & Comptroller for Palm Beach County, Clerk Abruzzo serves as the county’s protector of public records and taxpayer
money. He is responsible as Palm Beach County’s Comptroller for ensuring the proper investment and legal use of billions of dollars in taxpayer money.
“Two of our office’s core missions are government transparency and connecting our community with financial information they need to be well-informed,” Clerk Abruzzo said. “OpenGov makes it is easy for people to go online and search for payments made to different vendors, review the county’s future debt service payments or see county revenues and spending. We believe OpenGov will be a valuable tool for everyone in our community, and what better time to share this resource than during Sunshine Week.”
