Current Term: 01/01/2017 – 01/01/2024
Serving Since: 2003
Commissioner Joe Miller has served Holmes County since 2003 when he was appointed to complete an unexpired term.

Commissioner Miller is an outspoken proponent of fiscal conservatism and along with the other two Commissioners is proud to be a part of the many positive developments that have occurred within Holmes County government. Holmes County has transformed itself from a period of extreme budget shortfalls to what it has become today. Through Commissioner Miller’s leadership, the county now boasts a strong stable budget, efficient operating standards and a “rainy day” fund that in 2016 is at the maximum level allowed by Ohio law.
Commissioner Miller looks forward to continuing to represent the people of Holmes County and would encourage you to stop by our office at 2 Court Street in Millersburg or call his cell at 330-204-1490 if there is anything he can do for you.
