Only the first 80 applications received before the deadline will be accepted. Only U.S. citizens registered to vote and non-citizens authorized to work in the U.S. by the Citizenship and Immigration Services (formerly the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Services) are eligible to be considered for hiring by the Lafayette Consolidated Government. The deadline may be found in the top right hand corner on the front of the application. Applications will not be accepted after the posted deadline. Applications must also include an original signature. Residents who live in the Lafayette area must turn-in their applications at the Civil Service office. If you live outside the Lafayette area, a copy of the required information must accompany the application before it is accepted.
