Tompkins County Company

Tompkins County is an incredible place to call home. Ours is a compassionate, resilient, and innovative community – one where people from all backgrounds are invited and welcomed. Our Tompkins County government is made up of 27 departments and hundreds of dedicated employees who work hard to meet the needs of our community and provide relevant resources and inclusive services. Remember, our County government works for you.

From ensuring fair and free local elections to providing Health Department inspections, there’s a lot of County work that happens behind the scenes. These are in addition to the human services, transportation infrastructure, and services like the DMV or the Tompkins County Public Library, all of which (and many more) are either run by or supported by Tompkins County.
