Special districts are local governments in Wyoming that provide services to specific areas to protect the health, safety, and welfare of citizens. Special districts are separate from cities and counties and are created by communities to provide services that the local government does not. These services are essential to the health, safety, economy, and well-being of the community.
Special districts can perform a single function such as fire protection, water service, or cemetery management. Other districts, such as community service districts, can have multiple districts including 27 different types, such as irrigation districts and joint powers boards. Wyoming currently has more than 650 special districts, including nine Senior Citizen Special Services Districts.
The Natrona County Senior Citizens Service District is governed by a five-member, elected, unpaid Board of Trustees.
The Natrona County Senior Citizen Service District (NCSCSD) will fund vital programs and services for our seniors, including Central Wyoming Senior Services, Inc. (CWSS), Natrona County Meals on Wheels, and Wyoming Senior Citizens, Inc. Additional programs may also be included if they meet state requirements.
Funded by a small property tax, the NCSCSD ensures essential services are available to our seniors. For a $200,000 home, it’s just $1.58 per month or $19 per year.
Meetings are held the first Tuesday of each month at the Casper Senior Center @ 10AM.
