- Magistrates, sometimes called justices of the peace, sit on the fiscal court, which serves as the county legislature and makes laws for the county. 
- They decide how money is spent and raised by the county, including taxes, bonds, and property transactions.
- They oversee county infrastructure like roads, manage county property, conduct building inspections, issue permits, and operate the county jail.
- Each county features 3 to 8 districts, each electing 1 magistrate.
- Magistrates are elected for 4-year terms in partisan elections. Their salary caps at approximately $93,000 for full-time work, adjusted based on hours worked. The fiscal court determines this salary.
