County Government
Sussex County is governed by five Sussex County Council members, each of whom represents a district apportioned on the basis of population. Each council person is elected for a four-year term. An appointed County Administrator is responsible for day-to-day operations of the County government and reports directly to the County Council.
Georgetown, located near the geographical center of Sussex County, was created to function as the County seat in 1791. Georgetown is now the center of County government, and serves as home to the branch offices of many state and federal agencies. The mayor and council form of government is the most popular of municipal governments. In general, most municipalities control their own zoning, although zoning in several of the smaller towns is managed by the County Zoning Commission.
