==General information==
[[File:Lyefjell2.jpg|thumb|left|View from Lyefjell towards Bryne]]
The [[prestegjeld|parish]] of ''"Thime"'' was established as a municipality on 1 January 1838 (see [[formannskapsdistrikt]] law). The municipal borders have been slightly changed twice since that time. On 1 January 1970, a small unpopulated area was moved from Time to [[Gjesdal]] municipality. Then again on 1 January 1989 another unpopulated area was transferred to Gjesdal.<ref name="Dag">{{Cite book |last=Jukvam |first=Dag |url=http://www.ssb.no/emner/00/90/rapp_9913/rapp_9913.pdf |title=Historisk oversikt over endringer i kommune- og fylkesinndelingen |publisher=[[Statistics Norway|Statistisk sentralbyrå]] |year=1999 |isbn=9788253746845 |language=no}}</ref> Both times it was to make more room for the growing village of [[Ålgård]].

===Name===
The municipality (originally the [[prestegjeld|parish]]) is named after the old ''Time'' farm ({{langx|non|Þímin}}) since the first [[Time Church]] was built there. The meaning of the first element is uncertain. It may come from the [[Anglo-Saxon language|Anglo-Saxon]] word {{lang|non|Þínan}} which means "to get wet" or the [[Old Norse]] word {{wikt-lang|non|þiðna}} which means "thawed" or "melted". Both possible meanings likely refer to the wet and marshy areas in Time. The last element is {{wikt-lang|non|vin}} which means "[[meadow]]" or "[[pasture]]". Historically, the municipality name was spelled ''Thime'', but the "h" was dropped as the Norwegian language was reformed over time.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Rygh |first=Oluf |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=u4pBAAAAIAAJ |title=Norske gaardnavne: Stavanger amt |date=1915 |publisher=W. C. Fabritius & sønners bogtrikkeri |edition=10 |location=Kristiania, Norge |pages=139–142 |language=no |authorlink=Oluf Rygh}}</ref>

===Coat of arms===
The [[coat of arms]] was granted on 23 December 1977. The [[blazon]] is ''"[[Gules]], a lapwing [[Attitude (heraldry)|rising]] [[argent]]"'' ({{langx|no|På raud botn ei sølv vipe med utslegne vengjer}}). This means the arms have a red [[field (heraldry)|field]] (background) and the [[charge (heraldry)|charge]] is a [[northern lapwing]] (''[[Vanellus vanellus]]''). The charge has a [[tincture (heraldry)|tincture]] of [[argent]] which means it is commonly colored white, but if it is made out of metal, then silver is used. This bird (known as a {{lang|no|vipe}} in Norwegian) was chosen as a symbol for the municipality as it is a typical bird for the area. It is shown with wings upwards to symbolize optimism. The municipal flag has the same design as the coat of arms.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Civic heraldry of Norway - Norske Kommunevåpen |url=https://www.heraldry-wiki.com/heraldrywiki/index.php?title=Time |access-date=2023-07-02 |publisher=Heraldry of the World}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Time, Rogaland (Norway) |url=https://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/no-11-21.html |access-date=2023-07-02 |website=Flags of the World}}</ref>

===Churches===
The [[Church of Norway]] has three parishes ({{lang|no|sokn}}) within the municipality of Time. It is part of the [[Jæren prosti]] ([[deanery]]) in the [[Diocese of Stavanger]].

==Geography==
Time is located in the district of [[Jæren]] which is mostly flat and agricultural. The river [[Figgjoelva]] marks the northern border of Time with the municipality of [[Sandnes]]. The large lake [[Frøylandsvatnet]] forms part of the border with the neighboring municipality of [[Klepp]]. The landlocked municipality also includes part of the "Høg-Jæren" ("high-Jæren") area which is not flat like the rest of the district. ''Høg-Jæren'' is more hilly, rugged, and less densely populated.<ref name="snl" />

==Government==
Time Municipality is responsible for [[primary education]] (through 10th grade), outpatient [[Health care|health services]], [[old age|senior citizen]] services, [[welfare spending|welfare]] and other [[Social work|social services]], [[zoning]], [[economic development]], and municipal [[road]]s and utilities. The municipality is governed by a [[Municipal council (Norway)|municipal council]] of [[Direct election|directly elected]] representatives. The [[mayor]] is [[Indirect election|indirectly elected]] by a vote of the municipal council.<ref name="ks">{{Cite encyclopedia |title=kommunestyre |encyclopedia=[[Store norske leksikon]] |publisher=[[Kunnskapsforlaget]] |url=https://snl.no/kommunestyre |date=2022-09-20 |editor-last=Hansen |editor-first=Tore |language=Norwegian |editor2-last=Vabo |editor2-first=Signy Irene |accessdate=2022-10-14}}</ref> The municipality is under the jurisdiction of the [[Sør-Rogaland District Court]] and the [[Gulating Court of Appeal]].
