The Tamarac Finance Services Department mission is to professionally and responsibly manage the financial affairs of the City, to protect and further the City's strong financial reputation, and to effectively and efficiently provide related support services for residents and City operations.

There are five divisions within the Finance Department, each serving a vital function for the City.
