The 'Maury County Commission is the legislative body of Maury County.

The legislative body for Maury County is the County Commission. The County Commission is responsible for crafting the county's budget as well as other local policies. The County Commission meets every third Monday at 6:30 p.m at the Tom Primm Meeting Room at 6 Courthouse Square, Columbia (across the street from the County Courthouse in the Hunter Matthews complex).[1]

The Tennessee state constitution specifies that a county commission can have as many as 25 members, with each district having up to three members.[2] The Maury County Commission is currently composed of 22 members, with two members each from eleven districts.[3] County Commission districts are redrawn at least every ten years using data from the most recent United States Census.[4] In 2001, the County Commission created the 11th District (out of Districts 6 and 8) to accommodate growth in Spring Hill.[5] The 2011 redistricting cycle did not result in the creation of any new districts, but did significantly alter the lines, resulting in several incumbent commissioners being drawn out of their districts.[6] The next round of reapportionment will occur before January 1, 2022.[7]

Commissioners serve four-year terms.[8] The most recent election was held on August 2, 2018. The next election will occur on Thursday, August 4, 2022.

The presiding officer of the County Commission is its Chairman. The current chairman of the Maury County Commission is First District Commissioner Don Morrow.
