City of Gulf Breeze Invites Residents to Participate in 2025 National Citizen Survey™

The City of Gulf Breeze is inviting residents to share their opinions through the 2025 National Citizen Survey™. The survey provides valuable insights into how the City is serving its residents, gauges perceptions of community life, and compares Gulf Breeze to peer cities nationwide. The results will help the Mayor and City Council shape the City’s updated strategic plan, set future priorities, and guide budget decisions.

Gulf Breeze first participated in the National Citizen Survey™ in 2020 and again in 2023. Developed by National Research Center, Inc. in partnership with the International City/County Management Association, the survey offers a reliable and cost-effective way to assess community satisfaction. This year’s survey will serve as a benchmark to compare responses with the previous two surveys. Results will be available in late September 2025 on the City’s website.

Households within the incorporated limits of Gulf Breeze will receive a postcard invitation during the week of August 13 to complete the survey online. For those who prefer a paper option, surveys will be mailed on August 20. Residents will have until September 24, 2025, to respond. All responses will be weighted and analyzed to ensure accuracy. Questions cover a range of topics, including quality of life, city services, local policies, demographics, and how residents use City programs.
