Four commissioners, each elected from a quarter of the county's population, serve along with the County Judge on the Commissioners Court. In addition to assuring that county roads are maintained, commissioners vote with the County judge to set the budget for all county departments and adopt a tax rate.
Among other responsibilities, the Commissioners Court:
- Sets the yearly property tax rate and approves the budget and employment level for the county.
- Sets Commissioners and Justice of the Peace precinct boundaries.
- Calls, conducts and certifies elections, including bond elections.
- Sets employment and benefit policy.
- Establishes long-range thoroughfare, open space, land use, financial and law enforcement/jail needs plan.
- Acquires property for rights-of-way or other uses determined to be in the public's best interest.
- Reviews and approve subdivision platting and wastewater treatment for rural areas.
- Provides rural ambulance services and subsidizes rural fire protection.
- Oversees the construction, maintenance and improvement of county roads and bridges.
- Appoints non-elected department heads and standing committees.
- Supervises and controls the County Courthouse, county buildings and facilities.
