Government in Palm Beach County
This publication is provided by the Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners to help citizens understand
the responsibilities of the people they elect and how to contact the appropriate elected representative(s) for
information and services. Palm Beach County citizens elect representatives to their state and federal governments
as well as local offices. Our county has many different governmental bodies operating within its boundaries. The
members of each governing board are elected or appointed independently; each entity has its own set of duties and
responsibilities, and establishes its own budget.
The Board of County Commissioners is elected by the citizens of Palm Beach County and has no jurisdiction over
municipal governments, constitutional officers and judges, the Palm Beach County School Board, various
improvement/drainage districts, and other independent special taxing districts. The function of the Board of County
Commissioners is to establish policies and enact laws pertaining to unincorporated areas of the county and to enact
specific countywide ordinances outlined in the Charter of Palm Beach County.
Handling day-to-day operations of county government is an appointed county administrator who has executive
powers to implement the policies and procedures set forth by the Board of County Commissioners. The county
administrator manages an annual budget of over $6 billion and oversees more than 6,000 county employees.
Seven independent constitutional officers are elected by local voters: the sheriff, state attorney, public defender,
clerk and comptroller, property appraiser, tax collector and supervisor of elections. Judges and members of the
Palm Beach County School Board are also elected by voters. Residents living within the boundaries of a municipal-
ity and certain improvement, and water control and drainage districts have additional elected or appointed represen-
tatives, such as mayors, council members and supervisors.
There are more than 100 special taxing districts in Palm Beach County with the power to levy taxes and
assessments in order to provide services. Some special taxing districts collect funds through ad valorem taxes,
meaning the tax dollars are based on property values. Other districts collect assessments, which are fixed amounts
for each unit of land owned.
The Palm Beach County Public Affairs Department has several publications that further explain specific functions
of Palm Beach County government, such as the Charter of Palm Beach County and the Guide to Services. They are
available at county branch libraries and governmental centers or call Public Affairs at 561-355-2754 (888-808-3126 in
Boca/Delray or the Glades) for copies. Many publications are available online at www.pbcgov.com/publications.

Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners
P.O. Box 1989, West Palm Beach, FL 33402-1989 • 301 N. Olive Ave., West Palm Beach, FL 33401 • 561-355-2001 • www.pbcgov.com
The policy-setting body of county government also sits as the Solid Waste Authority Governing Board, the Environmental Control Hearing Board, the Zoning Board, and the Child
Care Facilities Board. The seven county commissioners are elected from single-member districts to staggered four-year terms. An appointed county administrator oversees the day-
to-day operations of county government. The Board of County Commissioners generally meets on the first and third Tuesdays of the month in the sixth floor chambers of the Robert
Weisman Palm Beach County Governmental Center, 301 N. Olive Ave., West Palm Beach. Meetings are carried live on PBC-TV Channel 20 and online at www.pbcgov.com.
The Board of County Commissioners is elected by the citizens of Palm Beach County and has no jurisdiction over
municipal governments, constitutional officers and judges, the Palm Beach County School Board, various
improvement/drainage districts, and other independent special taxing districts. The function of the Board of County
Commissioners is to establish policies and enact laws pertaining to unincorporated areas of the county and to enact
specific countywide ordinances outlined in the Charter of Palm Beach County.
Handling day-to-day operations of county government is an appointed county administrator who has executive
powers to implement the policies and procedures set forth by the Board of County Commissioners. The county
administrator manages an annual budget of over $6 billion and oversees more than 6,000 county employees.
Seven independent constitutional officers are elected by local voters: the sheriff, state attorney, public defender,
clerk and comptroller, property appraiser, tax collector and supervisor of elections. Judges and members of the
Palm Beach County School Board are also elected by voters. Residents living within the boundaries of a municipal-
ity and certain improvement, and water control and drainage districts have additional elected or appointed represen-
tatives, such as mayors, council members and supervisors.
There are more than 100 special taxing districts in Palm Beach County with the power to levy taxes and
assessments in order to provide services. Some special taxing districts collect funds through ad valorem taxes,
meaning the tax dollars are based on property values. Other districts collect assessments, which are fixed amounts
for each unit of land owned.
The Palm Beach County Public Affairs Department has several publications that further explain specific functions
of Palm Beach County government, such as the Charter of Palm Beach County and the Guide to Services. They are
available at county branch libraries and governmental centers or call Public Affairs at 561-355-2754 (888-808-3126 in
Boca/Delray or the Glades) for copies. Many publications are available online at www.pbcgov.com/publications.
