County governments are responsible for a wide variety of
critical issues, including provision of human services (i.e., mental health,
intellectual disabilities, juvenile justice, children and youth, long-term
care, drug and alcohol services, housing) to people in need in our communities.
In addition, counties are responsible for emergency management and 911
services, administration of the courts and corrections system, elections,
maintenance of county bridges, and the county property assessment rolls, and
also are involved in environmental and land use planning, protection of open
space and community and economic development.
