Duties and responsibilities of the Planning Commission are set forth in the Interlocal Agreement, the Bylaws, and the Ordinances of the City of Tallahassee and Leon County.
The Planning Commission is composed of three members appointed by the Leon County Commission, three members appointed by the City Commission, and one member selected by the School Board of Leon County and appointed by the City and County Commissions. Planning Commissioners shall serve for a term of three years, unless terminated as provided in Section 1, and may be reappointed. Members are required by statute to file financial disclosure.
