In Michigan, the County Road Commission is in charge of all public streets and roads in the county that are not in a city or village. The Commission consists of three commissioners, serving six year staggered terms. In Hillsdale County, the road commissioners are elected at large (there are no districts); and also acts as the Hillsdale County Parks Commission. The Road Commission may appoint an engineer/manager and other staff to manage the roads.

Hillsdale County has 370 miles of primary roads, and 833 miles of local roads, for a combined 1203 miles of county roads. The Hillsdale County Road Commission also maintains 93 miles of state highways under contract with MDOT.

Currently, the three commissioners are Mr. Bob Godfrey, Mr. Michael Parney, Mr. William Watkins.
