Fulton County Commissioners

The Commissioners serve as the general administrative body for county government. They are the county government taxing, budgeting, appropriation, and purchasing authority. The board of county commissioners holds title to property. Individual commissioners have no power to act independently. The board must take all formal and official action by majority or unanimous vote. County Commissioners have a myriad of other responsibilities including hearing and ruling on annexations, approving drainage improvements through the petition process, establishing water and sewer districts and making improvements, and providing for solid waste disposal.

By necessity commissioners must take a broad view of action to make the county a better place to live and work. Perhaps the most important attribute of a county commissioner is the ability to listen, lead, compromise, and to develop a consensus on priority issues facing its county.
