The Board of County Commissioners consists of
five elected officials, each representing a geographic district, but
all of whom are elected by District. As the governing body of the
County, the Board of County Commissioners performs legislative, budgetary
and policy-making functions and advocates for citizens at all levels
of government. Equally important, the Board of County Commissioners
establishes the vision and sets the direction for County government
to plan for the future challenges that will face our community.
What your Commission does: The Taylor
County Charter and Chapter
125.01 of the Florida Statutes establish the specific duties and
powers of the Board of County Commissioners. Exercising their legislative
powers, the County Commission adopts ordinances (local laws) and resolutions
to establish policies and programs, and to provide public services
and facilities primarily for the un-incorporated areas of the county.
The County Commission considers major problems facing County government
and guides the growth and development of the county in a manner that
is consistent with the public interest.
