The Florida Supreme Court on Friday settled a long-running dispute between three local officials and the Orange County Charter Review Commission over whether the group could set term limits and hold nonpartisan elections for six constitutional posts — clerk of the circuit court, sheriff, property appraiser, tax collector and comptroller.

The ruling means that officers will run in nonpartisan elections and serve a maximum of four terms, each lasting four years. As it stands, officers are elected in partisan elections without term limits.
