West Volusia board meetings are open to the public. Meetings are held on the third Thursday of each month at 5:00 PM, at a duly noticed location. Meeting notices are published in the legal notices section of the Daytona Beach News-Journal per statutory requirement. Two hearings are held in September of each year for public input on the budget and ad valorem tax rate (millage) for the upcoming fiscal year. Generally the WVHA takes a recess in December holding no meeting during that month.
