Q. Why Home Rule for Douglas County? A. As Douglas County continues to grow and evolve, the need for a more responsive and adaptable governance structure – that has some freedom from State policies – is clear. Unlike the current statutory form of government, which adheres to state-imposed rules and limitations, a Home Rule Charter provides the flexibility to address local challenges more effectively and innovatively.

Did you know that since 1994, a voter-approved 0.17% sales and use tax has helped preserve your parks, trails, historic resources and open spaces in Douglas County? Renewed by voters in 2022, this dedicated sales tax is expected to generate $350 million over 15 years. In 2024, you told us how to invest that money, and your Board of Douglas County Commissioners has an update.
