The Lincoln County Planning Department was created in 2006 to prepare the County for future large development projects. While the County has had an active planning commission for over 30 years, the pace of change and the size of projects have been slow. Over the next 40 years there is the potential for 250,000 new residents to a County of only 4400 people. As the 13th largest County in the country (at over 6 million acres), Lincoln County is facing unprecedented growth.
Mission Statement
The mission of the Planning Department is to provide friendly, fair, and factual land use information in an informal environment. We strive to assist the public and provide direction for the Town Boards, the Planning Commission and the Board of Commissioners.

Planning Department Projects for 2009
Street Naming and Address Policy - Lincoln County is a remote, rural County that ranks as the 13th largest County in the nation and as the 3rd largest County in the State of Nevada. As the County faces new development projects that could increase the County's population rapidly in the next 20 years, there was an urgent need to develop an addressing system that will be compatible in both urban and rural settings. The County has recetly invested in upgrading its E-11 system to be more effective and accurate for public safety purposes. A consistent and logical system needs to be in place for E-911 to be fully implemented. In preparing for the 2010 census, a new addressing system will prove invaluable to the population count, not to mention assist the County in a wide range of functions.
