Hamilton County Commissioners Guide Local Operations

The Hamilton County Board of County Commissioners, a five-member elected body, shapes local government policy and manages essential county services. Each commissioner serves a four-year term representing a specific district.

The board oversees departments including the County Road Department, Emergency Medical Services, Land Use Administration, SHIP, Solid Waste, County Recreation, the Building Department, Economic Development, Veteran Services, the Agricultural Extension Office, and Maintenance. A key responsibility is adopting the annual millage rate and approving the County budget, which funds all county services.

Florida Statutes Chapter 125 establishes the board's powers and duties. Their decisions ensure the effective operation of these vital services for Hamilton County residents.
