Mayor Bill Foster

Dear Web Site Visitor:

It is a beautiful day in the Sunshine City, and I appreciate the opportunity to serve you online.  Whether you are one of our city's 250,000 residents, a business interest, or a visitor enjoying St. Petersburg's many amenities, I am confident you will find a wealth of information here at www.stpete.org.

From the Gulf of Mexico to Tampa Bay, St. Petersburg is indeed one of America's most livable cities.  While we take great pride in our waterfront parks and historic neighborhoods, we also boast a vibrant downtown combining office, retail, and commercial uses with arts, entertainment and professional sports.  In St. Petersburg, customer service and quality of life are not mere catch phrases – they represent our mission to all residents and visitors.  I am committed to a safer and more sustainable community, seamless in every way, which will be accomplished through our continued focus on public safety, budgetary constraints, education, coordinated delivery of services and workforce housing.  These are the legs upon which sit our economic development and growth of our tax base.  As your Mayor, I am all about transparency, accountability and results, and thus invite you to see how St. Petersburg is performing by viewing nearly 200 performance measures, all here online.

While navigating this site, I'd like to call your attention to Action Online. 
This is a one-stop location to access all online city services – filing a complaint, requesting a service, online bill payment and permitting.

Finally, if you are still looking for more information, this area of the site includes other ways to access city government, including TV and city meeting schedules, and links to other government and community resources.

Thank you for visiting www.stpete.org and for your interest in St. Petersburg.

Sincerely,

Bill Foster
