Mission Statement: The city of Branson is committed to its citizens and to those who visit here, to ensure a safe and environmentally sound community.

Branson, located in Taney County, operates under the Council/Administrator form of government.  The governing body consists of six Board of Aldermen elected from three wards and a Mayor elected at-large.  The Mayor and Board of Aldermen serve two-year terms, and elections are held each April.

The Board of Aldermen is the legislative body of government that passes the ordinances and approves contracts that manage and regulate our city.

The City Administrator is the city's chief executive officer. Hired by the Board of Aldermen, the city administrator is responsible to the Board for proper administration and management of the government business, officers and employees of the city.  

Board of Aldermen business meetings are held on the second and fourth Monday of each month at 7 p.m. in the Council Chambers at Branson City Hall, 110 West Maddux. Citizens are encouraged to attend all business meetings of the Board of Aldermen and speak on any agenda item.  The Board also provides a public comment forum immediately following its business meeting where citizens may speak on any subject related to city business.  

The Board of Aldermen established a contingency fund of the city's tourism tax marketing revenues to fund special activities that bring more visitors to Branson.  To apply for this funding, click here: Application for Tourism Tax Contingency Funds
