Editing Johnson County, Kansas (section)

===County government and unincorporated areas===
The county government is administered by an elected, seven-member Board of County Commissioners, with six elected from [[single-member districts]] and one [[at-large]].<ref name="bocc.jocogov.org">{{cite web |title=Board of County Commissioners |url=http://jocogov.org/dept/board-county-commissioners |access-date=March 10, 2023 |publisher=www.jocogov.org}}</ref>  Governance of the county is divided into six districts. The county government has full jurisdiction of the unincorporated areas of the county and limited jurisdiction of those areas of the county within incorporated places. For instance, decisions regarding the regulation of land use, development and zoning in unincorporated areas of the county are the responsibility of the county government, whereas such decisions for areas within incorporated places are the jurisdiction of the incorporated city of which the property is a part.
