Fairfax
County is governed under the Urban County Executive form of
government, one of several forms of county government authorized
in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
The powers of government are vested in an elected Board of Supervisors
consisting of nine members elected by district, plus a Chairman
elected at large. The law requires that districts be of approximately
equal population and that each Supervisor (other than the Chairman)
be a resident and qualified voter of his or her district, and
be elected only by voters living in that district. All voters
in the County may vote for the Chairman. Board members are elected
for four-year terms. There is no legal limit to the number of
terms a member can serve. The Board establishes County government
policy, passes resolutions and ordinances, approves the budget,
sets tax rates, approves land use plans, and makes appointments.
The Board appoints the County Executive, who is the administrative
head of the County government and is responsible for the administration
of all of the affairs of the County that the Board has authority
to control.
The county is divided into nine supervisor districts:
-
Braddock
- Dranesville
- Hunter Mill
- Lee, Mason
- Mount Vernon
- Providence
- Springfield
- Sully
