Leavenworth County

What Leavenworth County does

Leavenworth County is a county government and political subdivision of the State of Kansas, established in 1857 and operating under a five-member elected Board of County Commissioners. The County delivers a comprehensive portfolio of statutory public services to its residents and property owners across 463 square miles, including property tax collection and assessment, motor vehicle registration and titling, election administration, document recording, emergency medical services (Advanced Life Support), law enforcement, public health, planning and zoning, public works infrastructure maintenance (753.61 miles of roads, 149 bridges, 391 culverts), senior services, solid waste management, and court administration. These services are delivered through 16 functional departments and elected offices staffed by County Administrator Mark Loughry and elected officials including the County Attorney (Todd Thompson), County Clerk (Fran Keppler), County Treasurer (Stacy Driscoll, sworn in October 14, 2025), Register of Deeds (TerriLois G. Todd), and County Sheriff (Andy Dedeke).

The County's technology footprint centers on a GIS platform offering interactive web mapping with aerial photography dating to 1941, parcel-level cadastral data, hydrology, flood zones, and a digitized survey archive exceeding 10,600 records with section corner references covering 78% of 2,181 corners. Supporting systems include document management and e-filing for the Register of Deeds, an online citizen self-service portal for tax payments, permits, election information, and public records requests, plus a public service request portal routing citizen issues to Public Works and Planning & Zoning with status visibility. The County website runs on the revize.com government platform and broadcasts BOCC meetings live via YouTube for government transparency.

The County's revenue model is funded primarily through property taxes (real estate, personal property, motor vehicle), special assessments, document recording fees, transfer station fees, and annual tax lien foreclosure auctions; no commercial pricing applies. Distribution combines nine physical office locations (Leavenworth Courthouse, EMS, Health Department, District Court, Public Works County Shop, Noxious Weed, Council on Aging; Tonganoxie Annex; Lansing Transfer Station), 911 emergency response, online self-service, and an E-Notify alert system. Partnerships with Kansas Department of Revenue, Kansas Department of Health and Environment, Kansas Judicial Branch, MARC, and the Leavenworth County Development Corporation embed the County in state and regional governance ecosystems. No AI/ML capabilities are present in the disclosed technology stack.
