SEVIER COUNTY TRUSTEES

Although the office of Trustee is constitutional the office of Trustee is not mentioned in the record of the Court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions on November 8, 1796.

A diligent search of the Tennessee State Archives did not reveal the name of a Trustee before 1821.

The Trustee was appointed by the County Quarterly Court until 1836. After 1836 the Trustee has been elected by popular vote.

The Trustee is the treasurer of the county.

Since 1876 the Trustee has been the collector of property taxes.
