Overview

History
A county Board of Supervisors (BOS) organizes a regular June meeting preceding a general
election to fix the salaries of all precinct officers, other than justices of the peace. Constable
salaries are regulated by statute based on the number of documents the constable serves and
how many registered voters are in the constable's precinct (A.R.S. § 11-424.01).
