City of Coral Springs

Coral Springs, known at one point as the city in the Country, has become a premier South Florida community, known for its abundant parks, quality schools, numerous athletic programs and attractive neighborhoods.   Coral Springs, incorporated in 1963,  is a master-planned community and home to more than 127,000 residents.  The City is 24 square miles and 98% of the land is developed.  Families find Coral Springs appealing due to its family-oriented feel, local facilities and closed proximity to Fort Lauderdale and Miami.

The City's organization is run by a council-manager form of government.  The City Commission,  which consists of five members, is responsible for policy making, passing ordinances, authorizing appropriations, and having overall supervisory authority of the City.   The appointed City Manager supervises all government operations and implements the policies adopted by the Commission.

Since 1993, management has used a business model to run the City, taking customer input and data analysis into consideration as we map out the year's initiatives in our Strategic and Business Plan.

Having been the recipient of the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award and already a two-time Florida Governor's Sterling Award winner, Coral Springs has achieved national recognition as a leader in government quality, including Money Magazine's Best Places to Live and one of the 100 Best Communities for Young People by America's Promise.
