Sebastian County is governed by a quorum court, and the members of the quorum court are called justices of the peace. They are chosen by the voters of their county in the general election in November of every even-numbered year.
The role of justice of the peace is similar to that of a county commissioner in other states. JPs are the legislative branch of county government and are responsible for assisting the County Judge in levying the county taxes and making appropriations for the county's expenses.
JP District 7 is located in West Central Fort Smith. Neighborhoods include those on Towson Ave. from South U to Zero Street, Jenny Lind from South T to Phoenix, Old Greenwood from South O to Phoenix, then Hendricks Blvd. from South P to Gary. Please see the attached map.
