Operational Audit Planning Department

Walton County is requesting written quotes from qualified firms to conduct an operational audit of the Planning Department. The selected firm will evaluate the accuracy and appropriateness of fee assessments and collections, benchmark the County’s development-related fees against peer jurisdictions, and provide recommendations for improving internal processes. The review will focus on transactions from October 1, 2023, to present and will include Recreational Plat, Proportionate Fair Share, Mobility, Sidewalk, and Preservation Fees. The County seeks a comprehensive report with findings, benchmarks, and recommendations for greater efficiency and compliance.
