Orange LAFCO is governed by an 11-member board comprised of representatives from the county, cities, special districts and public. The term for all member seats is four years, and there are no term limits.

- County
Two Regular and one Alternate County members are appointed annually by the Board of Supervisors.
- Cities
Two Regular and one Alternate City members are appointed by the City Selection Committee comprised of the 34 City Mayors.
