The Board of County Commissioners is comprised of five members,
representing five districts, who are elected to four-year terms. Commissioners must reside in
one of the five districts to qualify for office although they are elected "at large"
by all voters in the County.
Since 1980, Citrus County has operated under a commission-administrator form of government. The
Commissioners, serving as the board of directors, are responsible for establishing policies and
procedures. The County Administrator serves as the chief executive and is responsible for implementing
the policies set by the Board and for the day-to-day operations of the County Government. Departments
and Divisions report to the County Administrator. The County Attorney is appointed by the Board to
serve as their legal advisor.
