Applications will remain in consideration for six months from the application date, and will be accepted at any time. Visit each board and commission webpage for more information.

Find Your Commissioner District

Some boards and commissions have members who represent a specific Board of County Commissioners district in Douglas County, some only have at-large members who can live anywhere in the County, and some have a mix. If you see a vacancy listed with a district number (ex. One District 3 member), then you will need to live in that district in order to be eligible for the position.
