Orange County is one
of seven counties recognized as comprising Central Florida.
It is a charter county, meaning it has its own constitution
and is self-governing. Having a charter gives the county the
ability to respond to a changing environment and meet local
needs. Department listing...
The first charter was adopted in November 1986 and went into
effect on January 6, 1987. In November 1988, voters approved
the creation of a new form of government for Orange County:
a chairman elected by the community at large and the creation
of six single-member districts. The chairman and commissioners
serve overlapping four-year terms. The chairman and commissioners
for districts 2, 4, and 6 are elected during alternate years
(1998, 2002, 2006); commissioners representing districts 1,
3, and 5 are elected in presidential election years (2000, 2004,
2008).
In November 2004, voters approved a change to the Orange County
Charter to reflect the name change of County Chairman to County
Mayor.
The Orange County Charter is the legal document which county
government operates day to day business.This Charter calls for
the creation of a Charter Review Commission every four years.
Meeting for 18 months, the 15 volunteers can study any and all
phases of county government and pose questions directly to the
voters on any special, primary, or general election ballot.
Orange County Administration is located at 201 South Rosalind
Avenue, Orlando, FL 32801, 407-836-0000.
