Every citizen in DeKalb County has 2 county commissioners: a District Commissioner and a Super District Commissioner. These elected officials are your representatives in all matters of county government, including zoning, taxes, local ordinances and more. Let’s look at how these districts are separated and find the elected officials that represent you!
The entire county is divided up into 5 main districts. Each of these districts is governed by one DeKalb County Commissioner. These 5 districts are unique, each with distinct features such as demographics, local landmarks and forms of transportation.

Along with the 5 main districts, the entire county is divided into two Super Districts. Just like districts 1-5, each super district is served by one commissioner as well. These two super districts each make up about half of the county population, with one district on the east end of the county (District 6) and the other on the west end (District 7).
