About Us

Your first contact with the City of Rock Hill is likely to be at the Administration Department. The Administration Department, headed by the City Administrator, serves the dual role of providing administrative services — accounts receivables and payables, payroll, benefits administration, etc., for city departments and employees, as well as providing a wide variety of services to the public.

The City of Rock Hill operates under a Mayor-Council-Administrator form of government, with the City Administrator serving as the Chief Administrative Officer of the City, responsible for overseeing the day-to-day operations of the City, including financial, legislative, legal, and personnel matters as they arise.

The City Administrator serves and advises the Mayor and Board of Aldermen, hires department heads, and prepares a proposed annual budget for Board consideration. They also enforce municipal laws and ordinances; coordinate the development and analysis of policy recommendations presented to the Mayor and Board of Aldermen; interact on a daily basis with the City's department heads; and oversee all city departments. 

The Assistant City Administrator/City Clerk is appointed by the Mayor and Board of Aldermen, and provides support to the City Administrator in managing municipal operations on behalf of the Mayor, Board of Aldermen and the residents. For more information about the City Clerk's office, click here.
