The Clerk of Circuit Court, who serves the County’s Court System and is the custodian of all Court records, elected to an eight year term
The Commissioner of the Revenue, responsible for the assessment of tax revenues, elected to a four-year term

The Sheriff, who in King William is the primary law enforcement official in the County, elected to a four-year term
The Treasurer, responsible for collection of tax revenues, elected to a four-year term
Each Constitutional Officer appoints varying numbers of deputies and support staff who assist them in carrying out the duties prescribed by the Virginia Constitution.
