Open government
We are a transparent and inclusive organization that is accountable to its residents. We work hard to be efficient and effective at providing the services and information you have a right to.
Counties perform hundreds of services, including record keeping, property assessment, road construction and maintenance, election administration, child welfare, public health, economic development, planning and zoning, and libraries, to name just a few.
To help determine how effective our efforts are, Hennepin County is taking part in a program sponsored by the state’s Council on Local Results and Innovation. This program established a set of performance measures that residents can use to see how effective counties are in providing key services.
Hennepin County tracks 13 performance measures in 10 different categories.
