Government AdministrationWest Virginia, United States201-500 Employees

Kanawha County Commission is a government administration body based in Charleston, West Virginia, that operates with a three-member board elected to six-year terms. The commission’s core responsibilities center on budget development and management, overseeing county purchasing, asset management, and technology resources, while the elected officials within the county—such as the Circuit Clerk, County Clerk, Sheriff, Assessor, and Prosecutor—maintain their own operations and budgets. In addition to internal governance, the commission provides funding support to external agencies—including entities like the Humane Association, parks and recreation, and the Yeager Airport—without directly managing their day-to-day activities. The organization serves the broader Kanawha County community by coordinating financial planning and resource allocation to sustain county services and infrastructure. Recent developments include the launch of a residents’ preparedness app in collaboration with the Office of Emergency Management, Metro911, and the sheriff’s office.
