Hernando County Government

The Board of County Commissioners is the chief legislative body in the County. The Board meets the second and fourth Tuesdays of the month at 9:00 a.m., with the first Tuesday reserved for workshops as needed. The Boards Meeting Room (the John Law Ayers Room) is located on the first floor of the Hernando County Government Center at 20 North Main Street in Brooksville. All meetings are broadcast live on Bright House Channel 622 and webstreamed live at www.hernandocounty.us

The five County Commissioners are elected for four-year terms by the voters at large and represent the geographical district in which they reside. The Board approves the County budget, adopts local ordinances and resolutions and establishes policies which govern the County and insure the health, safety and welfare of the citizens.

County commissioners' duties are specifically delineated in Chapter 125, Florida Statutes. The Board also serves as the Governing Board for the Hernando County Water & Sewer District, which provides water and sewer systems for residents within the unincorporated areas of the county.
