Speak to the Board of Supervisors

  3. Know when you will speak

    At business meetings, speakers on agenda items go first, then speakers on other topics. At public hearings, speakers go in the order they signed up. [2]

  4. Speak

    Speak to the Board as a whole. Debate is not allowed, and members can ask only questions of clarification. The podium has a timer. When it reaches zero, stop. [2] At a public hearing, bring 12 copies of anything you want to hand out. [2]

Speak by phone

  1. Business meetings: sign up in advance

    Call 703-777-0200 by noon on the meeting day and say you will speak by phone. [1] Phone speakers must sign up in advance. Phone speakers can use no more than half of the public input time: up to 45 minutes, or 22 speakers. [2]

  2. Public hearings: call in during the hearing

    Advance sign-up is strongly encouraged but not required. [2] If you did not sign up, call 703-880-8534 during the hearing to get in line, first come, first served. [1]

Write to the Board

  1. Email all nine supervisors, or call the comment line

    Email bos@loudoun.gov, or leave a message on the Board's comment line at 703-777-0115. [1]

  2. On public hearing items, you have until the vote

    The record stays open for written comments until the Board votes. The Board usually does not vote the night of the hearing. [2]

Need help to take part?

Ask for an interpreter at least 48 hours before the meeting. For other accommodations, call 703-777-0200 at least one business day ahead. [1] The speaker and the interpreter each get up to 2 minutes. [2]
