Board of Commissioners
The Hillsborough Board of Commissioners acts as the town's legislative body, establishing policy and law. It includes the mayor and five commissioners.
The mayor and commissioners serve part time and are chosen through townwide nonpartisan elections. The mayor is elected to a two-year term, serves as the presiding officer at Board of Commissioners meetings, and acts as the head of the town for ceremonial purposes. The five commissioners are elected to staggered four-year terms.
Regular meetings are held on the second Monday and work sessions on the fourth Monday of each month. All meetings are open to the public. See the meeting information and documents sections below for details.
