Governance

The Hocking Conservancy District is overseen by a Conservancy Court, appointing Boards of Directors and Appraisers.

Hocking Conservancy District is governed by a Conservancy Court made up of one Common Pleas Judge from each of the two counties within the watershed. The Ohio Revised Code Chapter 6101 provides that the Conservancy Court shall be vested with power to exercise jurisdiction over the Conservancy District.

The Conservancy Court meets annually, on a date agreeable to both Judges schedule, in order to receive and review the Districts annual report presented by the Board of Directors.
