Who are the Board of Supervisors?
The Tulare County Board of Supervisors is the governing body of the County of Tulare and represents each of the five supervisory districts in the County. The Board is comprised of five elected officials serving four-year terms. The position of Board Chairman and Vice-Chair rotates annually among the five board members.
The Board sets policy for County departments, oversees the County budget, adopts ordinances on local matters, and establishes land-use policies that affect unincorporated areas of Tulare County. Board members make appointments to various County advisory boards and commissions and appoint certain County officers and department heads.
County Supervisors respond to the needs of County constituents daily by meeting or discussing issues individually with County community members to help resolve problems and address their concerns.
