Macon County, Alabama
Macon County · Tuskegee, Alabama · the hall sits here · this is not Georgia
Tuskegee, Alabama is the hall. This is not Macon, Georgia. This is not Macon-Bibb.
Macon County, Alabama, was erected 18 December 1832. Tuskegee has been the only seat. Tuskegee is also the large city. Notasulga, Shorter, and Franklin are not the hall. This is not Macon, Georgia. This is not Macon-Bibb County, Georgia. This is not Tuscaloosa. Tuskegee University, Moton Field / Tuskegee Airmen National Historic Site, and the Tuskegee VA Medical Center sit on this map. They are campuses and a federal hospital. They are not this county government. Montgomery is the capital of Alabama. It does not sit here. It sits in Montgomery County.
Places include Tuskegee, Notasulga, Shorter, Franklin, and Warrior Stand. 2020 census: 19,532. This page is Side One for the place. The Sheriff’s job — Black Belt I-85 patrol and jail duty this badge still holds at County Road 10 — is taught at Office of the Sheriff — Macon County.
Countywide chair plus four districts. They do not sit on a Georgia City Hall as this county.
Macon is a five-member County Commission: a chairman elected countywide and four district Commissioners. The county’s own government page is honest: the chair votes only on a tie. There is no County Executive. Commission offices list at 101 East Rosa Parks Avenue, Suites 102–106. The Jesse Upshaw Commission Chamber lists at 205-B North Main Street. They fund roads, the courthouse, and the Sheriff’s budget. They do not hire the Sheriff. The people do. Tuskegee City Council is a city body. Notasulga is a town.
The Sheriff is four years, Article V § 138, 2026 with the Governor. Take office 18 January 2027. The Mayor of Tuskegee is a city clock.
I-85, U.S. 80, U.S. 29. Montgomery is still the capital.
I-85 and U.S. 80, U.S. 29, and Alabama 81 are the through roads. The Tallapoosa is the north water. Elmore is west. Tallapoosa is north. Lee is northeast. Russell is east. Bullock is south. Montgomery County is southwest. Staff who paste a Macon, Georgia skyline onto Rosa Parks Avenue, or treat the University as this hall, or file “Macon-Bibb,” are on the wrong county.
How a Tuskegee public finds the Macon desk — Rosa Parks, North Main, County Road 10
The courthouse sits at 101 East Rosa Parks Avenue, Tuskegee, AL 36083 (maconalabama.com). Circuit Clerk / Absentee list that Rosa Parks campus (Fifth Judicial Circuit). Commission chamber: 205-B North Main Street. Sheriff administration and jail listing (SOS): 246 County Road 10, Tuskegee, AL 36083. Confirm live addresses on those doors. A student who only knows a Georgia photograph, or only a campus photograph, has not found this courthouse.
246 County Road 10 is this Sheriff’s house. Tuskegee PD does not jail. Moton Field is not this badge.
Crime in unincorporated Macon — Shorter country, Franklin, Warrior Stand, the I-85 frontage outside city limits — is this Sheriff. Crime in Tuskegee is often Tuskegee Police. Crime on Tuskegee University is often campus police. Moton Field is a National Park Service site. The VA hospital is federal. The Macon County Jail at 246 County Road 10 is this Sheriff’s statutory house. Ala. Code § 14-6-1 still puts the jail on this Sheriff. June 2025 reporting said the house was uninhabitable and that people were housed in other counties — confirm live. Neighboring-county housing, if it continues, is temporary. It is not a Warden-department split. It is not ADOC Kilby. It is not Macon, Georgia. ALEA is the state. Civil process and court security at 101 East Rosa Parks are the Sheriff. Rights do not change at the campus gate. Remedy for Tuskegee Police is the City. Remedy for a Sheriff’s paper is the Sheriff. Relief when I-85 floods is this count first.
Care without inventing a campus chapel as this county
A peace order served in Notasulga. A transport from County Road 10 to 101 East Rosa Parks without becoming Tuskegee Police. Do not invent a church. Do not invent Moton Field as this badge.
What a university-town county actually watches — without becoming Tuskegee University
Court calendar on Rosa Parks Avenue. A wreck on I-85. A paper bound for Shorter. Fog toward Franklin. Coordination with Tuskegee Police, campus police, and ALEA without becoming those departments. Coordination with a Lee sheriff or a Bullock sheriff is mutual aid between two offices, not a merger. A Georgia photograph does not steal the seat. Montgomery remains the capital.
