Unincorporated towns in Nevada

According to Clark County, "In Nevada, County Commissioners are the legally constituted town boards for all unincorporated towns. While all official governmental decisions are made by the Board of County Commissioners, each unincorporated town has a Town Advisory Board (TAB) which assists the Board of County Commissioners by providing input on matters of importance to its community. These issues range from community parks and neighborhood improvements to zoning, traffic, and street maintenance. In addition, six Citizens Advisory Councils (CAC) serve in a similar capacity for communities located outside the boundaries of unincorporated towns". ==List of Citizens' Advisory Councils==

==Unincorporated Town Government Law==

The Unincorporated Town Government Law, adopted in 1975, applies to counties with a population over 100,000 (Clark and Washoe Counties), and any other county whose commissioners pass an ordinance adopting the law. The advisory board is responsible for acting as a liaison between the residents and the county commissioners, and advising the commissioners on budgets and local ordinances. The commissioners may delegate to the advisory board management of local services and expenditures. ==Other counties==

In counties where the Unincorporated Town Government Law does not apply, a town board may be established for an unincorporated town, either by initiative petition or act of the county commissioners. The county commission may levy a property tax of up to 1.5% on all property in the town. and issuing bonds. The option to establish a town board was enacted in 1967. The system was unpopular, because of an impractical provision that required two county commissioners to sit on the town board; by 1975, it had been adopted by only one town, Crescent Valley. The citizens' advisory council provision was passed into law in 1973. The town board law was later amended in 1985 to remove the requirement of county commissioners serving on the board. == Notes ==
