County of Lennox and Addington

What County of Lennox and Addington does

The County of Lennox and Addington is an upper-tier municipal government in southeastern Ontario, Canada, serving approximately 40,000-50,000 residents across four constituent lower-tier municipalities: Loyalist Township, the Town of Greater Napanee, Stone Mills Township, and the Township of Addington Highlands. Headquartered at 97 Thomas Street East in Napanee, the County delivers mandated upper-tier services including paramedic and community paramedicine services, social services (Ontario Works, housing, children's services), county roads and bridges, library services across five branches, museum and archives, provincial offences administration, and land use planning and development approvals. It also owns and operates The John M. Parrott Centre, a fully accredited 168-bed long-term care facility in Greater Napanee.

The County's digital infrastructure centers on a Geographic Information Systems (GIS) platform and the Cityworks online planning application portal, which has been rolled out across partner municipalities to accept subdivision, condominium, Official Plan amendment, consent, and pre-consultation submissions. Supporting systems include ArcGIS for mapping, Stargarden for job applications, and email newsletter infrastructure for stakeholder engagement. The current strategic plan covers 2023-2026, and an updated County Official Plan (replacing the 2015 plan) was adopted by Council in 2026, incorporating a Natural Heritage System Study (February 2024) and a 2051 Growth Analysis. A Climate Action Plan has also been formalized.

Revenue is not publicly disclosed; the County is funded through property taxation across the four lower-tier municipalities, provincial government grants and transfer payments, and a narrow set of user fees including planning application fees set by By-law 3348/16 (e.g., $2,000-$4,000 for subdivisions, $1,000 for private Official Plan amendments). The workforce of 101-250 employees is led by Chief Administrative Officer Brenda Orchard and includes Directors of Community and Development Services, Human Resources, Infrastructure Services, and Communications and Community Development. The County has been recognized with the Canadian Association of Municipal Administrators' Willis Award for Innovation for its Corporate Peer Support Program.

Product overview

The County of Lennox and Addington is a municipal government organization providing public services to residents. Its digital presence consists primarily of an informational website (lennox-addington.on.ca) that facilitates access to government services including emergency services, library services, long-term care (The John M. Parrott Centre), mapping/GIS services, museum and archives, provincial offences, roads and bridges, social services, and planning services.
