county commissioners
Local elected officials
County commissioners are elected officials who govern a county, serving on a board that handles local matters like budgets, land use, road maintenance, and public services.
The position exists primarily in the United States, where counties form an intermediate level of government between states and municipalities.
Commissioners typically serve staggered terms and make decisions collectively rather than individually.
The county commissioners voted to approve the new zoning ordinance.
