Washington County Salary Commission
In November of 2020, Washington County voters approved a change to the County Charter, establishing an independent salary commission. The volunteer Washington County Salary Commission consists of five human resources professionals who will determine the salaries for Washington County Board of Commissioners. At their business meeting on January 26, 2021, the Board considered a list of potential candidates and made Salary Commission appointments at that time.
The Salary Commission has completed their work for 2021. In January 2023 and every two years following, a new Salary Commission will be appointed to review the Board's salaries. For inquiries and comments please contact: Salary_Commission@co.washington.or.us.
