Every Jackson County voter has two county legislators

Jackson County's legislature uses both local and at-large districts, so each resident is represented by one district legislator and one at-large legislator.

One address can have two county legislators tied to it.

Jackson County’s legislature has local district seats and at-large district seats. That gives a resident one legislator from an individual district and another from an at-large district. The lookup tool is the way to sort that out for a specific address.

This is the county layer, separate from a city council member, school board member, or state representative. It is useful for county policy, budget, and representation questions.

For a pothole, tax receipt, or permit problem, start with the service office. For a county policy or budget question, use the legislator lookup so the message lands with the right local and at-large offices.
