The Mecklenburg County Board of Commissioners invites all residents to Connect with Mecklenburg County by participating in the governing process.  The Board welcomes public comment and looks forward to hearing from you!

Towards the beginning of every regular meeting, there is a section of the agenda called Public Appearance that provides time for the public to address the Board on subjects not appearing on the agenda.  The public may also address specific agenda items at the time the Board discusses them. Speakers will be given up to three (3) minutes each to speak. Speakers may not use their time for campaign purposes or make budget requests. Budget requests must be addressed at Budget Public Hearings which typically occur in January and May each year.  In 2023, they occur on January 18, 2023 and May 25, 2023.

Please review the policy, the agenda, and the meeting calendar before submitting your form.

The Board reserves the right to alter the rules on a case by case basis as necessary for the efficient and effective conduct of business. All information provided on this form is subject to the NC Public Records Law (NCGS § 132) and may be released upon request.
