County government in Nebraska
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
County government in Nebraska is organized by using one of two models:
- Township counties: Governed by a 7-member board of supervisors; county is subdivided into organized townships. This form is used by 27 counties.
- Commissioner counties: Governed by a 3- or 5-member board of commissioners; county is not subdivided into organized townships. This form is used by 66 counties.
- Board of Commissioners (commissioner counties) or Board of Supervisors (township counties)
- County assessor
- County attorney
- County clerk
- County sheriff
- County treasurer
- Register of Deeds
Other county officials (such as the county surveyor and the election commissioners) are appointed; in smaller counties, these officials may be shared by multiple counties.
