About the Board of County Commissioners
There are 100 counties in North Carolina and each one has a Board of
Commissioners. In Buncombe County we have five Commissioners serving
four-year terms. They are elected by the people in partisan elections.
In Buncombe County the Chairman is elected separately and also serves a
four-year term. The Board oversees all the departments in the County through
a County Manager form of government. The Board sets policy that is carried
out by the County Manager.
The Commissioners enact policies such as establishment of the property tax
rate, regulation of erosion control, noise and subdivisions outside
municipal jurisdiction, and adoption of the annual budget.
Commissioners meet on the first and third Tuesday of each month in Room 204
of the Courthouse in downtown Asheville.
