Fluvanna County Board of Supervisors

Purpose >
The powers and duties of the County Board of Supervisors include the administration of state laws in the county, approving and enforcing county ordinances, approving the annual county budget, determining and levying county taxes, and the general supervision of county governmental affairs. Further, the Board is responsible for making citizen appointment of the various governmental boards and commissions existing in the state.

Membership >
Board members are popularly elected to represent each county election district. The term of office is four years, with no restriction on the number of times re-election may be sought. Election of membership to the County Board of Supervisors is staggered, thus allowing overlapping terms of office.

Selecting the Board

Qualifications >
Candidates for the Office of County Supervisor must be residents of their county and district for at least thirty days, the State of Virginia for at least one year, and a citizen of the United States. Candidates must also be at least eighteen years old and registered to vote. Candidates for the Office of County Supervisor may run as independents or as members of a particular political party.

Election >
Election of the County Board of Supervisors is conducted under the election laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia. The Code of Virginia requires that the election be held on Tuesday after the First Monday in November of odd-numbered years. Supervisors are elected for a four-year term, which begins on the first day of January following the election.

Meetings >
Virginia law requires that a county governing body meet at least once per month. The day and time of meetings are adopted by resolution of the Board during the same organizational meeting in January where officers of the Board, by-laws, and rules of order are determined.

Due to possible changes each year, it is important that citizens pay special attention to the results of the organizational meeting each January. Each meeting is open to all citizens. Citizens may address the Board on any topic relevant to county government during the public address portion of the Board meeting which usually occurs early in the agenda.

The Fluvanna County Board of Supervisors meets on the first Wednesday of each month at 2:00 PM and on the third Wednesday of each month at 7:30 PM in the Board of Supervisors Office, County Office Building, Palmyra.
