The County Board of Commissioners is the legislative branch of your county government. That means they pass laws, much like your state legislature or city council; howver, they do so at the county level. Legislation passed by the Board of Commissioners usually focuses on issues that are more local, such as housing, zoning, infrastructure, public transit, taxes, but this isn't always the case.

Impacts roads, public transit, housing, and taxes.
