Livingston County Emergency Operations Plan

As Livingston County Commissioners, we are responsible for administering county government, including the development of an annual county budget and appointing County residents to numerous boards and committees which administer taxpayer funds.

We are also responsible for developing policies in regard to personnel, building and grounds maintenance, floodplain management and emergency management and general duties related to a third class township county.

In addition the Commission oversees the road and bridge department, planning and zoning and maintains all County buildings, property and equipment. The departments under the direction of the County Commission are:

  • Road & Bridge
    (660) 646-6341
    Jordon Ralls, Doug Sobotka

Zoning Order - 12/28/2016
Livingston County Building/Zoning Permit Application

Zoning is responsible for issuing residential and building permits outside the Chillicothe city limits. Because Livingston County is zoned, building permits are required before any construction can begin. In addition to zoning duties, the administrator works part-time for the Livingston County assessor. The office is located in the assessor's office on the first floor of the Livingston County Courthouse.

The Presiding Commissioner is elected by voters county-wide.
