Marion County, Arkansas
Marion County · Yellville is the seat · Bull Shoals is larger and is not the hall · Crittenden already holds Marion, Arkansas as that seat · Little Rock is the capital of Arkansas
Yellville is the hall. Bull Shoals is larger. This is not Hamilton, Alabama.
Marion County, Arkansas, was erected 25 September 1836 from Izard and named for Francis Marion. Yellville is the seat. It sat here from 1836, left for Sherman in 1870–1871, and came back. It is not the capital of Arkansas. Little Rock is. Bull Shoals is the large city on this map — it is not the hall. Flippin, Summit, and Pyatt are cities and towns in this county — they are not the hall. This is not Marion County, Alabama. Hamilton is that hall. This is not Perry County’s Marion, Alabama. This is not Marion, Indiana. This is not Crittenden County. Crittenden’s seat is Marion, Arkansas — already unique as 0129. Do not paste West Memphis onto Old Main. A marina on Bull Shoals Lake is not 300 East Old Main. It is not this Sheriff.
Places include Yellville, Bull Shoals, Flippin, Summit, and Pyatt. 2020 census: 16,826. This page is Side One for the place. The Sheriff’s job — remainder patrol and a 93-bed house this badge still holds on Randolph Road — is taught at Office of the Sheriff — Marion County.
Nine Justices at Old Main. They fund. They do not hire the Sheriff.
Marion is a County Judge plus a nine-member Quorum Court. The Judge lists at 105 South Berry Street, Yellville, AR 72687. Quorum Court meets 5:30 p.m. on the second Tuesday in the courthouse courtroom. They fund roads, Randolph Road detention, and the Sheriff’s budget. They do not hire the Sheriff. The people do. Yellville City Council is a city body. Bull Shoals City Council is a city body. The Arkansas General Assembly sits in Little Rock. None of those is this Quorum Court.
The courthouse lists at 300 East Old Main Street — 1943–1944 buff stone (Tom Eads), National Register, 14th Circuit. County / Circuit Clerk is combined at 300 East Old Main. County Judge / annex is 105 South Berry Street. Confirm at marioncounty.arkansas.gov before you drive. Hamilton is Alabama. Marion in Crittenden is a different county. Little Rock is Pulaski.
The Sheriff is four years, Article 7, § 46 / Amendment 95, on the gubernatorial table. Last regular Tuesday, 8 November 2022. Next regular Tuesday, 3 November 2026. Preferential primary Tuesday, 3 March 2026 (already sat). Take office 1 January 2027 (A.C.A. § 21-1-102). The Governor is 2026. That is a different desk in Little Rock. Justices of the Peace are two years.
White River, Bull Shoals Lake, Missouri north. Little Rock is the capital.
Ozark plateau. The White River and Bull Shoals Lake sit on this map. U.S. 62 and U.S. 412 are through roads. Ozark County, Missouri and Taney County, Missouri are north. Baxter is east — Mountain Home is that hall. Searcy is south. Boone is west — Harrison is that hall. Staff who paste Hamilton, Alabama, onto Old Main, or treat a lake marina as this oval, or file Marion in Crittenden as this seat, or file Little Rock as this hall, are on the wrong county.
How a Yellville public finds Randolph Road, Old Main, and Berry Street
Courthouse / combined County-Circuit Clerk: 300 East Old Main Street, Yellville, AR 72687. County Judge: 105 South Berry Street. Sheriff HQ / Detention: 221 Randolph Road (Highway 202 West), Yellville, AR 72687 — (870) 449-4236. Confirm live doors at marioncounty.arkansas.gov and marioncountysheriffar.gov before you drive. A student who only knows a Bull Shoals marina photograph, or a Hamilton, Alabama, postcard, or Marion in Crittenden, has not found this campus.
Randolph Road still jails. Flippin PD does not. Hamilton does not.
Crime in unincorporated Marion — Flippin remainder, Bull Shoals remainder, Summit remainder, Pyatt country — is this Sheriff. Crime in Yellville is often Yellville Police. Crime in Flippin or Bull Shoals is often those municipal departments. This Sheriff is not those badges. ASA lists a 93-bed house at 221 Randolph Road. That house is this badge’s shop. It is not a marina. It is not ADC. Do not send a family looking for a county booking to Bull Shoals Lake, to Hamilton, Alabama, or to Marion in Crittenden.
Civil process and court security at 300 East Old Main are the Sheriff. Rights do not change at a lake parking lot. Remedy for Yellville Police is the City. Remedy for a Sheriff’s paper is the Sheriff. Relief when U.S. 62 ices is this count first.
What this Ozark lake county actually watches from Yellville
Court calendars at 300 East Old Main. A wreck on U.S. 62 / 412. High water on the White River. Fog on a night road toward Flippin. Coordination with Yellville Police, Flippin, Bull Shoals, and ASP without becoming those departments. Coordination with Baxter’s Sheriff or Boone’s Sheriff is mutual aid between two offices, not a merger, and not a reason to file Mountain Home or Harrison as this hall. A marina photograph does not steal the seat. Little Rock remains the capital. Yellville remains the hall.
