Core offering

Klamath County, Oregon is a county government entity that delivers statutory local government services across 23+ departments including public safety (Sheriff, Community Corrections, Juvenile, Justice Court, District Attorney), public health, property taxation and assessment, building permits and code enforcement, land use planning, elections and vital records, emergency management, parks and recreation, museums, library services, veterans services, and developmental disability services. Service delivery combines physical offices distributed across Klamath County with online self-service portals for tax payments, ePermitting, public records, and facility reservations.

Product overview

Klamath County, Oregon operates a single integrated civic-services platform centered on the klamathcounty.org government website (powered by CivicPlus CivicEngage CMS) rather than a suite of separate commercial products. The platform combines a content-managed public information portal (departments, news, calendars, civic alerts), a citizen account system (with social sign-in via Apple, Facebook, Google, and Microsoft), and embedded online-service modules including ePermitting (Accela), online tax bill payment (PayDici), Community Corrections payment (Link2Gov), property sales (Veerus), public records requests (NextRequest), animal control dog licensing (ShelterBoss), and an ArcGIS-based online maps system. Surrounding this digital platform are Klamath County's physical service offerings — county parks (Crystal Springs, Eagle Ridge, Hagelstein, Henzel, Petric), the Fairgrounds & Events Center, museums (Klamath County Museum, Baldwin Hotel Museum, Fort Klamath Museum), the public library and law library, the Sheriff's Office, Public Health Department, Emergency Management, Community Corrections, Developmental Disability Services, and the Veteran's Service Office — all of which use the website as the central public-facing and service-delivery hub.
