Lyon County has seats open on citizen advisory boards and planning commission

The Board of County Commissioners appoints members to these Boards in December and January. If interested please go here to download and complete an application.
Citizen Advisory Boards are established by the Lyon County Commission to represent residents of Lyon County in designated geographical areas. Citizen Advisory Boards provide information and recommendations to the Lyon County Commission and to other appointed Lyon County boards and commissions. Within their respective geographic area of responsibility, Citizen Advisory Boards:
— Provide advice on land use, services, budget, taxes and other matters;
— Represent the views and concerns of citizens in a fair and equitable manner;
— Serve as a liaison between the citizens of Lyon County and the County Commissioners; and,
— Disseminate information to the citizens on issues of concern
Lyon County currently has seats that will be open for Dayton, Mason Valley, Moundhouse, Silver Springs, Silver City, Stagecoach, and Smith Valley. To find out more about the Advisory Board in your community go to:
