Citizen participation at Board of Commissioner meetings is encouraged. Each session begins with an opportunity for public comments. During this time, you can let your voice be heard by speaking directly to the entire Board of Commissioners for up to five minutes on any topic or item of concern. Although Commissioners do not have the option of responding or interacting with items raised during the public comment period, it is an effective way for anyone to bring issues to their attention. 

The Dare County Board of Commissioners conducts regularly scheduled meetings throughout the year. Meetings are generally held on the first Monday of the month at 9:00 AM and the third Monday of each month at 5:00 PM. Occasionally this schedule is adjusted to accommodate holidays and there are a few months each year when only one meeting is held.

Meetings are held in the Board of Commissioners meeting room in the Dare County Administrative Building, 954 Marshall C. Collins Drive in Manteo. Ample parking is available between the Administration Building and the Dare County Justice Center.
