A county Board of Supervisors (BOS) organizes a regular June meeting preceding a general election to fix the salaries of all precinct officers, other than justices of the peace. Constable salaries are regulated by statute based on the number of documents the constable serves and how many registered voters are in the constable's precinct (A.R.S. § 11-424.01).
