The Commissioners act as the governing body of the County. They are elected every four years and enact policies such as the establishment of the property tax rate and the adoption of the budget. They adopt ordinances or local laws that govern issues such as development, noise, animal control and the environment.

The Commissioners meet every first and third Tuesday of every month at the Courthouse in downtown Asheville. All Commission meetings are open to the public and public comment is taken before every meeting.
