Official County Record
Official source, last checked Sep 4, 2026- County Commission meets
- 2nd Monday 10:00 AM, and 4th Monday 5:00 PM, each preceded by a work session one hour earlier.
- Meeting location
- 260 Cedar Bluff Road, Suite 103, Centre, AL 35960.
- Judge of Probate
- Tim Burgess · (256) 927-3363
- Agendas posted at
- No online posting — anyone wanting to be on the agenda must call the Commission Office by noon the Wednesday before.
- Chairman, County Commission
- CONFIRMED ex officio — Chairman and Probate Judge Tim Burgess. Resolved a real conflict: a stale LinkedIn profile named a predecessor (Kirk Day), but the county's current site and 2025-2026 local news consistently confirm Burgess. Matches the ALPJA 15-county ex-officio list. Two slightly different office addresses appear across county subpages (373 East Main Street Suite 103 vs. 260 Cedar Bluff Road Suite 103, both Centre, AL 35960) — likely a post-office-move situation.
