County Commission

The Morgan County Commission is the Legislative Body for Morgan County, Tennessee.

The Morgan County Commission is made up of eighteen (18) Commissioners representing six (6) Commission Districts in Morgan County.

Effective immediately all posting of Morgan County Meeting Minutes online has ceased. On April 9, 2026, in a meeting of the Tennessee County Clerk’s Association, auditors warned that there should be no posting of county meeting minutes on the internet as groups were utilizing such postings to commit fraud against local governments. They cited a case in Knoxville where information was extracted from online meeting minutes and an agency was defrauded of $750,000 and other instances where several million dollars were stolen through similar type fraud. If a citizen would like a copy of the minutes, they can come by theMorgan County Clerk’s Offce on the first floor of the main Courthouse or the Morgan County Executive’s office on the third floor of the main Courthouse and request a copy. Or, they can call the County Executive’s office at 423-346-6288 or the Morgan County Clerk’s office at 423-346-3480. We are sorry for any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding of this situation.
