The Commission meets on the first and third Tuesday of each month at 9:00 a.m. in the Commission Auditorium, 601 SE 25th Avenue, Ocala. During these public meetings, Commissioners hear and vote on a variety of issues. Whether enacting Ordinances and Resolutions or approving budgets and expenditures, this Board has the responsibility to provide for the safety and welfare of all Marion County residents.

The Board of County Commissioner's overall operating budget includes the County Administrator and 25 various departments and is funded through General County Ad Valorem taxes and various other revenue sources. Ad Valorem taxes are also used to fund the elected constitutional officers, state mandated programs such as Medicaid, and various other programs.

Marion County's population has increased 40% within the last 10 years. This unprecedented growth has challenged us to find innovative and resourceful funding options for the increasing demand on services. Building public/private partnerships is one option which has proven to be our most successful.
