City of Orlando, Florida


The City of Orlando operates under a strong mayor–council form of government, featuring a mayor elected at-large and six city commissioners representing individual districts, all serving four-year terms.

Mayor’s Role: The mayor serves as the full-time chief executive officer, overseeing daily operations, presiding over city council meetings, and appointing department heads with council confirmation.

City Council: Comprising six district-elected commissioners, the city council enacts ordinances, approves the city budget, and addresses constituent concerns.

Public Participation: Orlando encourages resident involvement through open city council meetings, public input opportunities on agenda items, and engagement via boards, workshops, and neighborhood organizations.
