What Broome County does

Broome County is a county government entity and political subdivision of New York State, headquartered at 60 Hawley Street in Binghamton, New York. Founded in 1806, it serves a population of approximately 197,000-220,000 residents across 850 square miles of south-central New York through 40 county departments and offices, with a civil service workforce of approximately 7,000 employees across 37 constituent jurisdictions (towns, villages, school districts, and special districts). The County provides comprehensive public services including law enforcement (Sheriff's Office and 911 dispatch for 50+ agencies), courts (County, Family, Supreme, and Surrogate Courts), prosecution and indigent defense, public health and mental health services, social services (SNAP, Medicaid, Temporary Assistance, HEAP), veterans services for approximately 18,000 veterans and families, senior services, public transportation (BC Transit with 43 buses on 17 routes), solid waste management, parks and recreation (serving over 2 million annual visitors), property tax administration, and DMV services.

The County's underlying technology infrastructure consists of government technology platforms including GIS mapping systems, a 911 emergency dispatch communications system, a county-wide public safety radio network, and a county website portal (broomecountyny.gov) with online transaction capabilities. The County partners with state and federal systems including NY-ALERT for emergency notifications, NYS DMV for vehicle transactions, and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs for benefits administration. It also coordinates with educational institutions (SUNY Broome, Binghamton University, Cornell Cooperative Extension) and economic development organizations.

Broome County's revenue model is a hybrid public funding structure consisting of property taxes (set by the 15-member County Legislature as the taxing authority), state and federal aid for public assistance programs, and transaction-based fees for services including DMV transactions, County Clerk recording fees, Traffic Diversion Program fees ($200-$400 per infraction), and various licensing and permit fees. Distribution is entirely direct-to-public through county office buildings, mobile service units, and online portals. The County is governed by an elected County Executive (Jason T. Garnar, re-elected for a third term in 2024) and a 15-member County Legislature chaired by Daniel J. Reynolds, with department-level leadership across all major service functions.
