Elections to Angus Council were held on 4 May 2017 the same day as the other Scottish local government elections. The election used the eight wards, created as a result of the Local Governance (Scotland) Act 2004, with each ward electing three or four Councillors using the single transferable vote system a form of proportional representation, with 28 Councillors being elected, a reduction of 1 compared to 2012.
Following the 2012 election the Scottish National Party formed the administration on the Council. Cllr Ian Gaul (Kirriemuir and Dean)was appointed Leader of the Council at the subsequent statutory meeting, Cllr Paul Valentine (Montrose) Depute Leader. Cllr Helen Oswald (Carnoustie and District) was elected Provost.
