1. How do I apply for employment?

The Pasco County Clerk & Comptroller accepts on-line applications for open positions only. Open positions are posted on the Career Opportunities web page. An application must be submitted for each available position for which you wish to apply. A resume may not be submitted in lieu of an application, but may be attached to the application. Applications must be received by 11:59 p.m. on the closing date of the job posting.

Please allow one hour to complete your application, including the application form, attaching your resume and other supporting documents, and answering supplemental questions. Incomplete applications will not be considered.

A majority of our positions require you to complete a supplemental questionnaire. To assist you in completing the questionnaire, click the job you are interested in, click the "Supplemental Questions" tab and then click the "Print Job Information" link.

Veterans and spouses of veterans are encouraged to apply as they may receive preference and priority on employment selection for certain positions. Applicants requesting Veteran's Preference are required to provide supporting documentation.

If you are preference eligible and you believe an agency violated any of your rights under the veterans' preference laws and regulations, you may file a complaint with the Department of Labor's Veteran's Employment and Training Service (VETS).
