The City Council appoints individuals to serve on over 20 boards, advisory committees, and commissions. These volunteers are from all over Ocala, and their experience, knowledge and expertise help influence decisions affecting the City by providing advice and feedback to City leaders and Council.

If you have any questions, please contact the Office of the City Clerk at clerk@ocalafl.gov or call (352) 629-8266.

Applying to a Board or Commission

Everyone is welcome to apply for consideration to serve on a board or commission. Many boards have specific eligibility requirements, such as residing within City limits, being a qualified City voter, or owning property within the City. Some boards also require the annual filing of Financial Disclosure forms with the Florida Commission on Ethics. These requirements, if applicable, are outlined on each board’s individual page.

Please note: Applications must be submitted by the 10th of each month to be considered for that month’s appointment cycle.
