St. Johns County Departments / Divisions
The majority of St. Johns County Departments are governed by a five-member
Commission Board, all of whom are elected for four year terms. Each member
represents a district but is elected County wide. This structure gives citizens
a voice in government and provides a means of influencing decisions and policies
that shape the quality of life for residents.
By definition, the Commission establishes policies and appoints
a County Administrator to implement the policies and manage the operation
of the County. The Commission adopts the millage rate annually and approves
the budget, which determines the expenditures and revenue necessary to operate
all County Departments. The powers and duties of the County Commission are
established by Florida Statutes, Chapter 125.
