Lane County

What Lane County does

Lane County is a county government entity established in 1859, headquartered in Eugene, Oregon, and operating under Oregon state law to deliver mandated public services across more than 4,600 square miles of unincorporated territory. It serves Lane County residents, businesses, visitors, and partner agencies through departments including Public Works, Sheriff's Office, Technology Services, Land Management Division, Fleet Services, Animal Services, and Community Health Centers. Incorporated cities within the county (Eugene, Springfield, and others) maintain their own municipal services, leaving Lane County focused on unincorporated-area public safety, infrastructure, land use, health, animal control, and parks.

The county operates a portfolio of citizen-facing digital portals — ePets online licensing, LMD Online permit tracking on the Accela platform, LMD-PRO property records, interactive GIS maps, Fleet Auction, and Lane County Parks Reservations — alongside in-person service centers, phone/email support, and field operations. Its technology backbone includes a county-wide GIS supporting nine operational divisions, 200+ virtual and physical servers in a centralized data center, and platforms from Microsoft, ESRI, PeopleSoft, and Accela. Sustainability and modernization are visible in Fleet Services, which uses 99% renewable diesel, operates 23 electrified vehicles, and pursues Zero Emission Vehicle grants through Oregon DEQ, EPUD, and EWEB.

Revenue comes from property taxes, state and federal funding, and a diversified menu of service fees spanning dog licensing ($14–$420), building and land-use permits, park reservations, environmental health licensing, and fleet auctions. Public Works alone maintains 1,400 miles of roads and 420 bridges, processes ~1,900 building permits and ~777 land-use permits annually, secures grants such as the $5.3M referenced for Public Works, and handles 224,411 tons of solid waste at Short Mountain Landfill. Strategic partnerships include Greenhill Humane Society (animal shelter services), City of Eugene and City of Springfield (jurisdictional coordination on animal control), and a network of veterinary clinics for the Spay/Neuter Voucher Program.
