The government structure of Delaware County consists of a five-member elected council. Under the State Home Rule Charter and Optional Plans Law of 1972 local governments were permitted to make changes to their respective governments. After review, Delaware County residents approved a Home Rule Charter in 1975 that took effect in 1976.
Delaware County was the first in the state of Pennsylvania to become a Home Rule County, until then having been governed by a three-member board of commissioners.
County Council is involved in activities pertaining to economic development, public transportation, waste disposal, human services, land use and culture. The Council also decides the best means of providing services which are required by law or are necessary for the well being of the county, and determines the participation of the County in intergovernmental programs involving federal, state, and local government as well as distribute federal and state grants for social services.
