Purpose
The Charter Board is authorized to create a charter for Frederick County to change the present form of government. The Charter Board has up to 18 months to draft a charter for submission to the Board of County Commissioners and then for a referendum election by the voters of Frederick County. The proposed charter is anticipated to go before the voters at the November 6, 2012 General Election.
The Charter of Frederick County will be a document that will change the present commissioner form of government to charter home rule government if approved by the voters. The proposed charter document would define the duties, power, rules, procedures, structure of local county government, and the rights of our voters/citizens.
Additional documents and useful links will be updated to this webpage, including agendas, minutes and other pertinent information.

All meetings of the Frederick County Charter Board will be open to the public and media. Meetings will be televised on FCG TV, cable channel 19, and webcast on www.FrederickCountyMD.gov/video.
