Hinds County Board of Supervisors

What Hinds County Board of Supervisors does

Hinds County Board of Supervisors is the elected governing body of Hinds County, Mississippi, headquartered at 316 South President Street in Jackson. The Board comprises five elected supervisors, each representing one of the county's five districts, and exercises jurisdiction across nine municipalities — Bolton, Byram, Clinton, Edwards, Jackson, Learned, Raymond, Terry, and Utica. Current leadership includes Board President and District One Supervisor Robert Graham, County Administrator Lure Berry, Interim Coroner Jeramiah Howard (appointed January 2025), and functional directors across public works, grants, veterans services, ADA compliance, and permits and zoning. The entity is classified as a private (i.e., not publicly traded) government state entity domiciled in Hinds County, Mississippi, USA, with no parent company, no subsidiaries, and no equity or venture funding; governance is by Mississippi state law and public election.

Core operations span property tax administration (Tax Assessor, Tax Collector), court administration (Chancery Clerk, Circuit Clerk, Circuit, Chancery, County, and Justice Courts), public works (roads, drainage, traffic signals in unincorporated areas), emergency management and weather sirens, permits and zoning, veterans services, ADA compliance, elections administration, and inmate services. The Board runs a government services portal at hindscountyms.com (with legacy applications at co.hinds.ms.us) that provides online access to property tax payments, vehicle tag renewals, court case searches, election information, GIS mapping, weather siren locations, inmate visitation scheduling, and various permit and zoning workflows. The technology stack is a conventional government content management platform with form-based public record queries — no API, SDK, MCP, or proprietary technology assets are disclosed, and the product overview explicitly characterizes the website as a portal for government services rather than a technology product platform.

As a government entity, the Board is funded through property taxes (assessed annually and collected by the Tax Collector), fees for public records, vehicle tags, and court services, intergovernmental transfers, and grants. A balanced budget of $110,037,592 was approved for fiscal year 2015; this represents the county's approved spending plan rather than revenue in the conventional corporate sense. No current-year revenue or budget figure is disclosed. Marketing and citizen engagement operate through the official website, social media channels (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram), town hall meetings, district-specific events, and public hearings. The entity is a member of the Mississippi Association of Supervisors and partners with the Mississippi Development Authority on disaster recovery programs and with VDCI on mosquito abatement.
