About Nebraska

Nebraska’s municipal structure includes 93 counties and over 500 incorporated cities and villages, with distinct governance models to address urban and rural needs. Counties in Nebraska offer services to both incorporated and unincorporated areas, while cities manage more localized responsibilities.

Omaha, Nebraska‘s largest city, operates under a strong-mayor system, where the mayor has executive authority over city departments like public safety and public works. The Omaha City Council legislates on policies and budgets, giving residents both executive leadership and representation. This setup allows Omaha to function independently from county oversight.

Lincoln, the state capital, uses a mayor-council form as well, with the mayor overseeing city administration and the council focusing on policy and budgets. In Lincoln, a city manager works closely with the mayor to ensure daily operations run smoothly, making it a hybrid model that combines executive and administrative expertise.

Smaller cities and villages, such as Bellevue and Grand Island, frequently adopt council-manager or village board models, where elected councils or boards handle legislative duties and hire managers to oversee day-to-day operations. This system is efficient for medium-sized municipalities, allowing them to address local issues with professional management.

Counties, particularly in rural areas like Cherry County and Custer County, manage services in unincorporated areas and are responsible for law enforcement, public health, and road maintenance. County commissioners govern these functions, focusing on the needs of residents in vast, low-density areas where creating city governments would be impractical.

Nebraska’s unincorporated regions rely on county services for governance, often using townships as local advisory bodies without formal legislative power. In these areas, counties oversee land use, zoning, and essential services, while townships serve as representatives of community interests.

Regional development councils in Nebraska support collaboration between counties and cities, addressing economic development, environmental conservation, and infrastructure projects to ensure balanced growth across the state.
