The Board of County Commissioners constitutes the chief governing body of the county located in Lebanon, PA.  Statutory authority of the Commissioners is primarily of an administrative nature with legislative or policy-making powers.   The County Commissioners are, in effect, the business managers of the county.   The corporate powers of the county are vested in the commissioners; they have custody of the official seal; and legal process against the county is served upon them.

Administrative powers of County Commissioners include voter registration and elections, assessment of property for tax purposes, human services, veteran affairs, appointment of county personnel and fiscal management. The Commissioners constitute the County Board of Elections, the Registration Commission, the County Retirement Board, the County Board of Assessment Revision of Taxes and they also serve as the administrative and executive officers of the county home (Cedar Haven). 

The Commissioners are elected for four-year terms, with the terms of the three Commissioners running simultaneously.  The three candidates who receive the highest number of votes in the general election are named Commissioners.  Since no voter may vote for more than two candidates in the general election, the voting process always results in the election of two majorities and one minority party Commissioner.
 
Regularly scheduled meetings to transact county business are held every Thursday in Room 207 of the Lebanon County-City Municipal Building, Lebanon, Pennsylvania beginning at 9:30 A.M.
