Boards and Committees
Advisory groups play a critical role in Polk County's government. Some are required by state law and others were created by the Board of County Commissioners to be advisors in specific areas. Residents are encouraged to participate in these groups, or nominate those who want to serve. To express interest in joining a committee, call the Communications Division at (863) 534-6090, or complete and submit the application form to miannenelson@polk-county.net.
