Bergen County Commissioners

The Bergen County Board of Commissioners (formerly the Bergen County Board of Chosen Freeholders) is a Board of seven people who govern Bergen County, New Jersey alongside the Bergen County Executive. The members are elected at-large to three-year terms of office on a staggered basis with either two or three seats coming up for election each year. At an annual reorganization meeting in the beginning of January, the board elects a Chair, Vice Chair and Chair Pro Tempore from among its members.

The Board is responsible for creating the laws for Bergen County. Most importantly the Board is responsible for creating and adopting a yearly budget for the county.^[1]
