County Commissioners Contact Information
NC counties are legal entities with powers dictated by North Carolina General Statute 153A-12. In NC, commissioners establish the property tax rate, regulate land use and zoning outside municipal jurisdictions, and adopt an annual budget every year that includes operating budget and capital funds for public schools. For an overview of how boards of county commissioners operate go to https://www.ncpedia.org/government/local/commissioners.
The NC Association of County Commissioners’ website includes a tool that takes you to each county’s government page where you can find updated information on your county commissioners. Scroll down to the state map and click on your county to find your commissioners.
