In 1910 the Schleiz District Office had an area of ​​544 km². At the head of the district was a district administrator. A district committee had existed since 1866. This consisted of the district administrator, a representative of the princely chamber, the mayors of the cities of the district and 10 elected members. One of these members was elected by the owners of land with a tax value of at least 500 units, another by those citizens who paid at least 3,000 marks in income tax. The other members were elected by the mayor. Its tasks were regulated in the law of April 30, 1866.
