 Wake County is governed by a
seven-member
Board of Commissioners,
elected at large to serve four-year
terms. Terms are staggered so
that, every two years, three or four Commissioners are up for election. The Commissioners enact policies
such as establishment of the
property tax rate, regulation of
land use and zoning outside
municipal jurisdictions, and
adoption of the annual budget.
Commissioners meet on the first
and third Mondays of each month.
