County government in Nebraska

County government in Nebraska
Counties in orange are township counties; counties in blue are commissioner counties

County government in Nebraska is organized in one of two models:

  • Township counties: the county is subdivided into organized townships and governed by a 7-member board of supervisors. This is the form used by 27 counties.
  • Commissioner counties: the county is governed by a 3- or 5-member board of commissioners, but is not subdivided into organized townships. This is the form used by 66 counties.

Elected county officials

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.
