  • Set fees
  • Contract for a yearly audit of all County funds
  • Ensure the legal and efficient use of tax dollars

  • Buy land for County use and sell County- owned property
  • Enter into contract and agreements on behalf of Leelanau County

 

Members of the Public are encouraged to attend Commission meetings; meetings are recorded and available for listening/viewing. They are held each second Tuesday of each month, starting at 9:00 a.m., at the Government Center in Suttons Bay.
