County Judge/Executive (or simply, Judge/Executive, and often spelled Judge-Executive) is an elected official in the U.S. state of Kentucky who is the head of the executive branch of a government in a county.[1] The Judge/Executive is an ex officio member of the Fiscal Court, the county's legislature. The position is established by the Kentucky Constitution, Section 144, and may not be abolished without amending that document.[2] In other states, similar positions may be referred to as "County executive," "County commissioner," or, informally, "County Boss."
History
Before the Kentucky Constitution of 1850, the primary administrator of a county was the justice of the peace.[3] The 1850 constitution provided for the office of a county judge, elected by the citizens.[1] The county judge presided over certain county courts, most notably the court of claims, the forerunner of the fiscal court.
The fourth state constitution, enacted in 1891, reorganized county governments into much of their present form. Judicial, legislative and executive leadership was provided for in the office of the county judge. A 1975 amendment to the constitution minimized the judicial roles of the county judge and maximized the legislative and executive roles. This amendment also changed the name of the office to "County Judge/Executive."
Term and duties
The Judge/Executive serves a four-year term and may be re-elected indefinitely. Though wielding no judicial power, the Judge/Executive is often informally referred to as "The Judge," is formally addressed as "Your Honor" and styled as "The Honorable." The Judge/Executive is a voting member of the Fiscal Court and therefore exercises some legislative authority.

County Magistrates in Kentucky
In many counties in Kentucky, Magistrates are elected every 4 years to the County's Fiscal Court. A Fiscal Court is led by an elected County Judge-Executive and is equivalent to a County Commission. A Kentucky County is separated into districts, and the citizens of each district elects a Magistrate to serve on this court. Under Kentucky's first constitution, Fiscal Courts were in charge of all judicial and legislative powers of a county. In the present constitution the Fiscal Court is only designated to carry out legislative powers, while the Judge-Executive carries out the executive powers of the county. In some counties in Kentucky, the magistrates no longer sit on the Fiscal Court, having been replaced by three at-large County Commissioners, along with the County Judge/Executive. In these counties, magistrates are still elected, however their duties are limited to the performance of marriage ceremonies.
