Welcome to Harrison County Indiana!
Harrison County has a wonderfully rich history in the emergence of Indiana as our 19th state and the establishment of Corydon as Indiana's first state capital. Just as the early representatives met under the Constitution Elm in Corydon to draft Indiana's first Constitution, the current members of Harrison County government are working hard to represent the needs and will of the people of Harrison County Indiana.

Official Statement - Harrison County Noise Policy
"Thank you for reaching out regarding a county-wide noise ordinance. At this time, the Harrison County Board of Commissioners does not have a noise ordinance in place, and we do not have plans to implement one.
Our decision is based on several key factors that reflect the best interests of our taxpayers:
- Preserving Rural Character: Harrison County is a proud agricultural community. A noise ordinance could unfairly penalize our farmers and those using heavy equipment essential to our local economy.
- Fiscal Responsibility: Implementing such an ordinance would require significant taxpayer investment in specialized decibel-monitoring equipment and the training of personnel.
- Enforcement Constraints: Currently, our local resources are focused on public safety and essential services. We do not have the additional staffing required to monitor and enforce noise-level compliance across the county.
We encourage neighbors to communicate directly with one another to resolve concerns, as the spirit of neighborly cooperation is what makes Harrison County a great place to live."
