Nye County seeks applicants for multiple advisory boards; apply by Feb. 17

The Nye County Board of County Commissioners is accepting applications to fill multiple advisory board vacancies, and completed applications must be received by the Nye County Clerk’s Office by 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday, February 17, 2026. "Completed applications must be received by the Nye County Clerk’s Office by 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday, February 17, 2026. Applications received after the deadline will not be accepted," the county NewsFlash states.

Openings listed by the county include one vacancy on the Belmont Advisory Board, one on the Central Nevada Museum Advisory Board, one on the Railroad Valley Advisory Board, one on the Nye County Water District Governing Board for the Tonopah area, and three vacancies on the Pahrump Library District Board of Trustees. The county posted the list on its NewsFlash page on February 4, 2026, and amplified the notice via the official Nye County Facebook account on February 4 at 11:24 AM.

Applicants may obtain forms in person at the Nye County Clerk’s Offices at 101 Radar Rd., Tonopah, or at 2100 E. Walt Williams Dr., Ste. 200, Pahrump, or online through the Nye County website. For the Water District vacancy the county provides an explicit mailing address for submission: "Submit completed applications to: Nye County Clerk’s Office P.O. Box 1031 Tonopah, NV 89049."

The Water District opening is geographically specific: "There is one vacancy for a resident of the Tonopah area (Area 2), with the term running through June 30, 2026." The Water District vacancy page frames the role as policy-facing and resource-focused: "This is an important opportunity to help shape water policy and planning in our county. If you are committed to responsible resource management and wish to make a meaningful impact, we encourage you to apply."

The NewsFlash item appears alongside other active county notices posted in early February, including a "Notice of Public Hearing on Nye County Bill No. 2026-02" posted February 3, 2026, and a countywide needs survey for opioid settlement funds posted February 2, 2026. The vacancy posts are published on the county website platform that displays a CivicPlus footer.

Residents seeking to serve on local advisory bodies should note the county’s repeated warning that late submissions will not be accepted. The county’s NewsFlash and the Water District vacancy page both repeat the deadline language and the requirement that completed applications be received by the Clerk’s Office by 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday, February 17, 2026. For the official Notice of Vacancy and any board-specific eligibility details, the county directs applicants to the Notices of Vacancy available through its website or to pick up forms at the Tonopah or Pahrump Clerk’s Offices.
