Douglas County is the fifth most populated county in Nevada with approximately 48,000 residents and seasonal populations that can exceed 65,000 due to its proximity to Reno, Carson City (state capital) and northern California.
Douglas County covers an approximate area of 751 square miles and has elevations ranging from a low of 4,625 feet on the valley floor to a high of 9,500 feet at East Peak.
The county’s proximity to the Sierra Nevada Mountains creates one of the most comfortable daily temperature ranges and provides a variety of outdoor recreation.
Douglas County includes the Carson Valley which is guarded on the west by rugged 10,000-foot peaks, the same mountains that cradle Lake Tahoe.
Douglas County is governed by a five-member elected Board of Commissioners. The County is comprised of ten functional areas – General Government, Judicial, Public Safety, Public Works, Sanitation, Health, Welfare, Cultural and Recreation, Community Support, and Utilities.
