Andina County, like all of the counties in the [[Palm Coast metropolitan area|Palm Coast region]], is a charter county. Its county seat is the city of [[Buenaventura, Verona|Buenaventura]]. The charter for Andina County was approved by voters in a county-wide referendum held in March 1973, and the first county commissioners elected under this new charter took office on 1 July 1975. The county carries the responsibility of law enforcement via Andina County Sheriff's Department, jails through Andina County Corrections (at Palm Coast Regional Jails), elections, and voter registration, vital records via the [[Verona Department of Health]], property assessment and records, tax collection, public health, health care, social services, libraries, flood control, fire protection, animal control, agricultural regulations, building inspections, ambulance services, and education departments in charge of maintaining statewide standards for the county's seven school districts.

The county is governed by a nine-member Board of Supervisors who hold legislative authority over the county. The county is, in turn, divided into eight districts–Avalon (4), Central (1), Grove Cities (5), Lutoria-West Sierra (2), Memorial (3), North Central (6), North County (7), and South Andina (8) (southern Andina County). The districts each elect one supervisor to the Board of Supervisors which governs Andina County, while the final is elected at large. Together, the board oversees the activities of the county's agencies and departments and sets policy on development, public improvements, and county services. At the beginning of each calendar year, the Supervisors select a Chair and Vice Chair amongst themselves. The Chair presides over board meetings, and the Vice Chair presides when the Chair is not present. The Board appoints the {{wp|Clerk (legislature)|Clerk of the Board of Supervisors}}, the {{wp|general counsel|County Counsel}}, the {{wp|performance audit|Performance Audit}} Director, and the Director of the Office of Independent Review. The Board also appoints the County Manager to act as the chief administrative officer of the county and the manager of all agencies and departments not under the sole jurisdiction of an elected county official nor the sole jurisdiction of one of the four aforementioned officers appointed by the Board.
