PARK COUNTY

What PARK COUNTY does

Park County Government is the statutory county government serving northwestern Wyoming, headquartered at the Park County Courthouse, 1002 Sheridan Avenue, Cody, Wyoming 82414. Established in 1909 and organized in 1911, the entity operates under Wyoming state law as a political subdivision of the State of Wyoming, governed by an elected Board of County Commissioners and funded through property taxes, state allocations, and federal grants. It serves approximately 30,735 residents (2023 Census estimate) spread across 5,233 square miles of land area — making it the fifth-largest Wyoming county by area and ninth-largest by population — with a low population density of 4.3 inhabitants per square mile.

The county delivers services through 19 internal departments/offices including the Assessor, Attorney, Clerk, Commissioners, Coroner, Elections, Treasurer, Planning and Zoning, Public Works, Solid Waste Division, Public Health, Historical Archives, Library, Fairgrounds, Weed and Pest District, Homeland Security, UW Extension, Sheriff's Office, and the Circuit and District Courts. Operationally, services span in-person delivery at the Cody Courthouse and Powell Annex, three landfill facilities (Cody, Powell, Clark), the Law Enforcement Center, and a network of remote offices, supplemented by digital self-service portals (Tyler Technologies iTax for property tax payments, iReg for vehicle registration, iDoc for land recording search from 1996 onward), a Terragis-based GIS Map Server for property search, ArcaSearch for historical records (1911–1996), PastPerfect archival database, and the Hyper-Reach community notification system. The DocAlert program provides proactive document-fraud monitoring to residents.

The revenue model is fundamentally tax-based: property taxes (the primary stream, administered by the Assessor and Treasurer), sales taxes on vehicle purchases, landfill fees (weight/volume-based with credit card convenience fees at Cody and Powell landfills), court fines and fees ($10 per legal document packet), vehicle title and registration fees, and small archival research/copying fees ($20 for off-site research plus $0.20/page). Customer segments are structurally captive: county residents (primary) for tax, licensing, vital records, public health, and law enforcement services; local businesses for licensing and land use; visitors/tourists (a meaningful non-resident segment given the county contains most of Yellowstone National Park and a portion of Shoshone National Forest); and agricultural/ranch operations for land use and Weed and Pest services.
