The Florida Department of Government Efficiency, commonly known as Florida DOGE, is a state agency of Florida. Based in the state's capitol, Tallahassee, the agency is tasked with eliminating waste within the state government and ensuring accountability in Florida.[1][2]
On February 24, 2025, the department was established by Governor Ron DeSantis.[3] Its creation has drawn bi-partisan criticism from the Florida Legislature, including House speaker Daniel Perez.[4][5]
In response to the creation of Florida DOGE, multiple Florida counties have established county-level equivalents.[6][7][8][9]
