Gaston County Board of Commissioners Riverbend Township

Gaston County is governed by a seven-member Board of Commissioners (BOC) representing six townships. Commissioners are elected on a countywide partisan basis to four-year staggered terms but must live in their respective Township. The major duties of the Board of Commissioners include assessing and assigning priorities to the needs of the county (e.g. job creation and economic development, education, healthy communities, public safety and quality of life), adopting an annual balanced budget, establishing the annual property tax rate, maintaining a responsible fiscal policy and enacting local ordinances. Commissioners are also responsible for appointing volunteers to serve on various advisory boards and commissions.
