Who are the Board of Supervisors?
The Tulare County Board of Supervisors is the governing body of the County of Tulare and represents each of the five supervisory districts in the County. The Board is comprised of five elected officials serving four-year terms. The position of Board Chair and Vice-Chair rotates annually among the five board members.
The Board sets policy for County departments, oversees the County budget, adopts ordinances on local matters, and establishes land-use policies that affect unincorporated areas of Tulare County. Board members make appointments to various County advisory boards and commissions and appoint certain County officers and department heads.
County Supervisors respond to the needs of County constituents daily by meeting or discussing issues individually with County community members to help resolve problems and address their concerns.
The Tulare County Board of Supervisors meets weekly on Tuesdays at 9:00 a.m. in the Board Chambers located at 2800 W. Burrel Ave. in Visalia, CA.

TULARE: Creado el 20 de abril de 1852, la sede del condado es Visalia
En 1772, mientras buscaba desertores, el comandante Fages descubrió un gran lago rodeado de pantanos y lleno de juncos, al que llamó Los Tules. De este lago deriva el nombre del condado. La raíz del nombre Tulare se encuentra en la palabra mexicana tullin, que designa espadaña o juncos similares.

Redistricting
Every ten years, county supervisorial districts must be redrawn so that each district is substantially equal in population. This process is called redistricting and is important in ensuring that each supervisor represents approximately the same number of constituents.
