Boards and commissions in Austin, Texas
Austin, Texas runs on 97 boards and commissions whose seats are held by residents who applied. This is the list Rallybase has read from the city's own register, read on 2026-08-28, and what the city does and does not publish about it.
Austin does not publish which seats are open. It takes applications to a standing pool instead — an application stays active for a year and is considered as seats come up. So an empty vacancy list here means Austin never publishes one, not that every seat is filled.

What Rallybase does not know here
- How many seats any of these boards has. The city's register does not print it and we have not read it elsewhere.
- Who appoints to each body — the mayor, the council, a district member, or a mix.
- When or where any of them meets. The city publishes that per board; we have not read it.
- How long a term runs.
- Who currently sits on any of them. Rallybase holds no membership roster for this city.
- Which of these bodies is still standing. The city's register lists committees whose work is finished beside commissions that meet every month, and we hold no field marking which is which.
