Welcome to Austin Boards and Commissions

Members of the community seeking to comment at Board and Commission meetings may do so either by phone or in-person for properly noticed meetings. To register to speak or for any questions about meeting participation, please contact the staff liaison of the specific board or commission.

Boards and commissions are important in that they enable the public to participate in Austin's government processes. Their activities help shape and influence public policy, because they lend a more diverse viewpoint for the City Council to consider.
