Description

A Justice of the Peace is an elected official equivalent to a county commissioner or county supervisor. The Poinsett County Quorum Court is composed of 11 JPs. The Quorum Court is a part-time body, elected from single-member districts, that has overall responsibility for county affairs. Among their responsibilities are passing the budget, creating new ordinances, setting property tax millage levels, and working with other elected officials. The County Judge presides over the quorum court. Justices of the Peace are elected every two years.
