The Escambia County Board of County Commissioners is the five-member governing body for Escambia County, elected to four-year terms by voters within districts. It exercises state-delegated authority through ordinances and resolutions and guides county operations through the county administrator. The county administrator, appointed by the board as chief administrative officer, oversees day-to-day operations across multiple departments. Based in Pensacola, Florida, the county delivers services spanning transportation infrastructure, public safety, health and social services, emergency management, solid waste, transit, and parks. The FY 2016-17 budget exceeded $436 million, underscoring the scale of local government operations. A recent development is Escambia County's collaboration with the Pensacola Bay Estuary Program and the City of Pensacola on the Carpenter Creek Restoration Project.
