What Campbell County does

Campbell County is a local government entity in East Tennessee serving approximately 40,000 residents across 498 square miles, with its county seat in Jacksboro. It delivers essential public services through elected offices (Mayor, County Clerk, Trustee, Sheriff, Property Assessor, Register of Deeds) and appointed departments including EMS, Highway, Sanitation, Finance, Emergency Management, Veterans Affairs, Parks and Recreation, and Historical Records. The county operates educational partnerships with Roane State Community College and TCAT Jacksboro, and healthcare partnerships including LaFollette Medical Center, while coordinating with the Tennessee Emergency Management Agency (TEMA) for disaster preparedness. The county maintains infrastructure including 684 miles of county roads, the Colonel Tommy C. Stiner Airfield (general aviation with UT LIFESTAR medevac base since 2014), Lonas Young Memorial Park, and the only operating single-stream Material Recovery Facility (MRF) in Tennessee, where recyclables are sorted and baled for sale.

The county's revenue model is multi-stream: property taxes (with municipal rates ranging from 1.295 in La Follette to 2.15 in Jellico; county base 2.0659), waste disposal fees ($50/ton commercial and residential trash; tiered tire disposal $1-$25), business licenses ($15 initial; $250 beer permits), lodging tax (raised from 2% to 7%), marriage licenses ($105 standard, $45 with counseling), and allocations from Tennessee's opioid settlement funds managed through the Coalition of Recovery Resources. Distribution is hybrid: three County Clerk offices (Jacksboro main, LaFollette annex, Jellico), eight plus sanitation convenience centers, the central MRF and transfer station, and online self-service portals for tax payments, vehicle registration renewals, and license applications. Customer segments include County Residents (primary, captive market), Visitors and Tourists (Norris Lake and state park visitors), Local Businesses (Chamber of Commerce network), and Veterans (Office of Veterans Affairs).
