Lane County government operates under a home rule charter approved by voters in 1962. The Charter grants authority to a full-time compensated, five-person Board of County Commissioners to legislate and administer County government within the limits of that non-partisan authority. Lane County voters individually elect commissioners from specific geographic regions for four-year terms. The Sheriff, Tax Assessor, and District Attorney are also elected by Lane County voters.
