The Ohio Constitution and County Government in Ohio
All Ohio counties, with the exception of Summit County, follow the same statutory form of government consisting of three county commissioners and one of each of the following officials: county Auditor, county Clerk of Courts, county Coroner, county Engineer. county Prosecutor, county Recorder, county Sheriff, and county Treasurer. In 1979, the electors of Summit County adopted a charter that replaced the statutory three member board of county commissioners with an elected county executive and seven member county council. All other elected officials remained the same. County officials are elected in even numbered years to four year terms with the exception of judges, who have six year terms. Common pleas, probate and county court judges are established by statute pursuant to authority granted by the Ohio Constitution. Compensation for all county elected officials is set by the Ohio General Assembly and varies with the population of the county | |
