The Polk County Commission is an elected three-member governing body with a Presiding Commissioner, Northern District Commissioner, and Southern District Commissioner.

The three-member commission supervises the Polk County Road and Bridge Department; acts as a liaison with other commission boards and government entities; approves and adopts annual budgets for all county related operations; establishes Polk County policy; approves expenditures for each office, and oversees compliance with statutory requirements.

If you live in a Special Road District your roads are supervised and maintained by the commissioners elected to each of those districts, not the County Commission.  Click this link for a current list Special Road District Commissioners For further information concerning Special Road Districts, you may contact the Polk County Clerk’s Office at 417.326.2922
