What County of San Joaquin does

The County of San Joaquin is a public county government entity established in 1850 as one of California's original 27 counties, headquartered in French Camp with the County Administration Building located at 44 N. San Joaquin Street, Stockton. The county serves more than 789,410 residents across 1,426 square miles (including 35 square miles of water) and eight incorporated cities — Escalon, Lathrop, Lodi, Manteca, Mountain House, Ripon, Stockton, and Tracy — through 28 departments and agencies delivering public safety, healthcare, emergency services, infrastructure, social services, and general government functions.

Its core service portfolio includes San Joaquin General Hospital, a 196-bed Level-II trauma center managed under a Management Services Agreement with Dignity Health/CommonSpirit Health that serves 1.34 million+ patient encounters annually with 80% Medicare/Medi-Cal utilization; an Accela-powered online permitting portal covering Community Development, Public Works, Environmental Health, and Treasurer-Tax Collector; the SJREADY emergency notification system; the Registrar of Voters election services for 410,058 registered voters; and the planned Be Well Campus, a 172-bed behavioral health facility under construction on 23 acres in French Camp. Technology infrastructure is built on Oracle PeopleSoft HCM, Cerner revenue cycle, Microsoft Office 365, and SD-WAN networking, with an Enterprise System Catalog maintained per California Senate Bill 272.

The county is funded primarily through property taxes (administered by the Treasurer-Tax Collector with rates set by the Board of Supervisors), state programs (Medi-Cal, CalWORKS, CalFresh), federal healthcare programs (Medicare), and transactional fees for permits, business licenses, vital records, and hospital services. The entity is governed by an elected five-member Board of Supervisors and is governed by an Acting County Administrator following a 2025 leadership transition. The proposed FY2026-2027 budget totals approximately $3.3 billion, reflecting ten consecutive years of structurally-balanced budgets.
