The Dare County Board of Commissioners conducts regularly scheduled meetings throughout the year. These meetings are generally held on the first Monday of the month at 9 a.m. , although this schedule is occasionally adjusted in order to accommodate holidays.
 
Each regularly scheduled meeting begins with an opportunity for individuals to make public comments. During this time, citizens can let their voices be heard by speaking directly to the entire Dare County Board of Commissioners for up to five minutes on any topic or item of concern. Citizen participation at these meetings is strongly encouraged. 

In an effort to encourage public participation, the board accepts public comments from two locations: the Dare County Board of Commissioners meeting room in Manteo as well as an interactive video link at the Fessenden Center Annex, 47013 Buxton Back Road in Buxton.

Meetings are held in the Board of Commissioners meeting room adjacent to the Dare County Administration Building located at 954 Marshall C. Collins Drive in Manteo. Entrance to the Board of Commissioners meeting room, as well as ample free parking, is available between the Dare County Administration Building and the Dare County Justice Center.

There are several ways to stay informed of the discussions that occur during the Dare County Board of Commissioners meetings:
