PASCO COUNTY

Origin/meaning

Introduced in 2009.

A drawing of the historic courthouse located in Dade City, the county seat, tops the middle of the seal, representing both the history of Pasco County and the clerk’s role in the justice system.

In the bottom left of the interior of the seal, an ink well and scroll represent the recording duties of the clerk and comptroller.

The financial symbol displayed in the bottom right of the seal represents the comptroller functions of the clerk and comptroller. The symbol can also be found on the one dollar bill and contains the all-seeing eye and triangular glory, signifying the clerk and comptroller watching over the county’s finances.

The seal includes the date of the county’s founding - 1887 - out of Hernando County.

The red, white and blue motif represents the county’s patriotism, commitment and inclusion in the United States.

In the outer, red circle, six stars represent the six municipalities in Pasco County: Dade City, New Port Richey, Port Richey, San Antonio, St. Leo and Zephyrhills.
