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-, 5- or 7-member board of commissioners, but is not subdivided into organized townships. This is the form used by 66 counties.

## Elected county officials

[edit]

* 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.
