STRUCTURE OF
INGHAM COUNTY GOVERNMENT
I
ngham County is governed by a Board of Commissioners. In 2002,
the Board was increased from thirteen to sixteen members as a result
of the reapportionment process, which occurs every 10 years. Each
Commissioner is elected on a partisan basis for terms of two years from
single-member districts that are approximately equal in population.
The Board annually elects from its ranks a Chairperson, Vice Chairperson,
and Vice Chairperson Pro Tem by majority vote. The administration of
the County, other than as delegated to elected officials, is guided by the
County Controller/Administrator who is appointed by a two-thirds vote of
the Board of Commissioners and serves at its pleasure. Primary functions
of the Board include determination of the type and level of County
services, adoption of the County Budget, equalization of County property
values, legislative oversight of County services and the appointment of
various boards, commissions and County officials. Judges of the 30th
Judicial Circuit and the Probate Courts are elected at large for six-year
terms, while the Judges of the 55th District Court are elected from the
area of the County outside of Lansing and East Lansing. (Lansing and
East Lansing both have their own district courts.) Operation of the court
system is performed under the auspices of the Michigan Supreme Court
and the respective presiding Judges, while the County government
primarily provides financial support.
Administration of the County is divided by the Michigan
Constitution among various statutory County officials, including the
County Treasurer, County Clerk, Register of Deeds, Prosecuting Attorney,
Drain Commissioner, and Sheriff, who are elected at large for four-year
terms. The County Treasurer is the custodian of funds apportioned to
local communities and school districts, and performs other duties
concerned with fiscal affairs of County departments and agencies.
The duties of the County Clerk include keeping and maintaining records
of births, deaths, marriages and discharges of military personnel and
serving as Clerk of the Board of Commissioners. The duties of the Register
of Deeds include the recording of deeds, mortgages, surveys, recording
of plats, notices of liens and bills of sales. The Prosecuting Attorney
prosecutes violations of state criminal law within the County and may
represent the County before appropriate Courts. The County Drain
Commissioner administers the location, construction, and maintenance of
drains in the County. The Sheriff’s duties involve the charge and custody
of the County Jail, the serving of processes, and law enforcement in
unincorporated areas.

In addition, the Board of Commissioners appoints several County
officials, including the Controller, Health Officer, Medical Examiner,
Equalization Director, and Animal Control Director with responsibilities
as defined by statute, County ordinance or resolution. The Controller/
Administrator’s responsibilities include direction of central administrative
functions of the County government and acting as a liaison on behalf
of the Board of Commissioners between County offices, appointed
officials, and the general public. The Health Officer directs the operation
of the County Health Department in accordance with the Board of
Commissioners’ directions and as authorized by State law. The Medical
Examiner serves as the Medical Director of the Health Department as well
as performing the statutory duties of Medical Examiner. The Equalization
Director oversees the equalization process of the County as prescribed by
law. The Animal Control Director enforces appropriate State law and the
Ingham County Animal Control Ordinance to ensure the public safety
in animal related matters.
The Board of Commissioners also appoints various boards and
commissions to oversee specific County services and to advise the
Board on certain matters of interest. Appointments to boards overseeing
County functions include the FIA Board, the County Library Board, the
Board of County Road Commissioners, the Board of Park Trustees, and
the Housing Commission. Appointments to advisory committees include
the Women’s Commission, the Equal Opportunity Commission, and
the Board of Health. Finally, the Board also appoints representatives to

COUNTY PROFILE
A
n 1829 act of the Territorial Legislature created Ingham County.
Called a “cabinet county,” it bears the name of Samuel D. Ingham,
who was Secretary of the Treasury under President Jackson at the time.
The area was a forest wilderness filled with wide tamarack marshes,
and was very sparsely populated. Because of its dense forest, early
Michigan settlers tended to avoid Ingham County and settled its
perimeters. The first piece of land purchased and deed recorded was in
the Okemos area in 1832. Settlers moving into the county from the east
and south followed old Indian trails from Jackson, the Dexter-Stockbridge
area and Pontiac. By 1842, all of the present townships of Ingham County
were organized.
The State Legislature met in Detroit in 1846 to choose a site for
a capital for the new State of Michigan. Lawmakers presented bills
proposing many localities. Each, of course, favored his own district as
a site. Lansing Township was a surprising compromise made by the
legislators, for the nearest railroad was 40 miles away and there were only
a few trails to the site, which was still a wilderness. The deciding factors
for Ingham County were its central location and the offer by James
Seymour of a large tract of land at the bend of the Grand River.
The Capital City was soon carved out of the forest. Travel was
facilitated by the construction of a plank road from Detroit to Lansing.
This toll road, financed with federal funds, was completed in 1860 and
gave force to the large number of new Michigan settlers that poured into
the region. The seat of Ingham County government was established in
Mason, which is centrally located, fulfilling the requirement of the time
that the county seat be no more than a day’s travel from any location in
the county.
The Lansing area grew gradually over the years, with industry and
the educational facilities of a land-grant college contributing to its
expansion. The remainder of the county developed into an agricultural
area, much of which remains at the present time. The spread of suburban
living has recently cut somewhat into these rural areas.
Ingham County covers an area of 550 square miles and includes the
governmental units shown in Table 1.

THE COURTHOUSE HISTORY
THE FIRST COURTHOUSE
B
uilt in 1843, at a cost of $800, Ingham County’s first courthouse was
a structure to which her citizens pointed with pride. It stood on the
south side of Ash Street, opposite the present County Building. Here
the first settlers held their sessions of Court and transacted business
matters; here they gathered for political rallies and other public meetings;
and here, on Sunday, the early churches of Mason gathered for divine
worship. Around this two-story frame building centered the activities of
the little pioneer county seat, until the needs of a rapidly growing county
made a larger courthouse necessary.
THE SECOND COURTHOUSE
Less than 15 years after Ingham County became the proud owner
of the first courthouse, rapid growth demanded a much larger and
more complete building. In 1858, an imposing brick structure, which
cost the taxpayers $12,229.19, gracing the public square of Mason
was constructed. Built in the prevailing style of the period, its first floor
boasted a wide hallway extending through the building from which
opened the county offices. The second floor was occupied by the circuit
courtroom. Trees were planted and the square graded and fenced with
funds contributed by Mason citizens. Watering troughs at the two front
corners of the block, an artesian well and bandstand in the front yard, a
croquet ground at the side and a large woodshed at the rear completed
the surroundings of the building which served the county, though
somewhat inadequately at the last, for 45 years.
The first Ingham County Courthouse, used from 1843–1857,
now stands at 721 S. Jefferson Street.

2011–2012
THE COURTHOUSE HISTORY
THE PRESENT BUILDING
Before the turn of the century, Ingham County again needed
additional space and the question arose, “Shall we enlarge our present
building, or build a new one?” When presented to the voters, the latter
plan was chosen and during the years 1902 and 1904, the present
building was erected and equipped at a cost of $76,000. Early in 1904,
the offices were ready and 12 people, including the personnel of the
Abstract and Mutual Insurance Companies, and the janitor, occupied
the building. Beginning in the early 1980’s, attention was focused on
restoring this historic structure. The walls and roof were restored between
1980 and 1984, with interior renovation of the third floor following in
1986. The remainder of the interior was completely refurbished between
1992 and 1994, at the same time that the former Hilliard Building across
the street was replaced with a new structure. Over this 15-year period,
more than $10 million was spent on the Courthouse Square, including
the Courthouse and Hilliard Building. The final phase, completed in 1996,
involved repair and repainting of the Courthouse dome.
Designed and built by Matthew
Elder of Lansing, the second Ingham
County Courthouse was used from
1858–1904.

with the Road Commission for improvements to local roads. Federal revenues
are also available for a limited number of county roads which are designated
Federal Aid Routes. These revenues are for road and bridge improvements
and in most cases are matched on the basis of approximately 80 percent
federal and 20 percent Road Commission. Each year the Road Commission
must report to the Michigan Department of Transportation, its receipts and
expenditures of all state, federal and local funds. Annual reports and audits
are also submitted to the Ingham County Board of Commissioners. The
Ingham County Road Commission’s policies and functions are implemented

various records; the Finance Director who is responsible for purchasing,
budget and finance; the Director of Engineering who is in charge of

THE INGHAM COUNTY SEAL
O
n June 9, 1970, the Official Seal for Ingham County was adopted
by the Board of Commissioners. The seal is circular with the words,
“The Great Seal of Ingham County, Michigan,” and the date “A.D. 1838”
inscribed around the outside. The central part of the seal is divided into
four parts. At the left are wheels and cogs, representing Industry. The
cogs on the side represent the townships in Ingham County.
At the top is the State Capitol Dome, representing the State Seat
of Government in Michigan. At the right is an ear of corn representing
Agriculture. At the bottom is a mortar board representing Education.
The seal was designed and donated by then Commissioner Frederick
L. Stackable.
