COUNTY AUTHORITY
Executive Power: A county may exercise its general powers subject only to limitations expressly imposed by a state law. Duties are performed by the passage of a motion, resolution, amendment or ordinance.
Ability to Form Partnerships: A county may consolidate or merge with another county, a township, a municipality or a school corporation. Counties may also jointly provide any service that can be unilaterally provided under law.
Call a State of Emergency: The board of county commissioners of a county may declare a local disaster emergency. The county legislative body must approve any local emergency order that is either more stringent or not addressed in a state emergency order.
Special Districts: There are nearly 700 special districts within the state of Indiana. Special districts may be created by an ordinance or resolution of the county commissioners, or through the filing of a petition. There are around 20 different types of special district in the state, including local airport and port authorities, regional water, sewage and solid waste districts and conservancy districts.
