What Lake County does for you!
Lake County government handles many of the services that affect everyday life — often behind the scenes. When residents stay informed and engaged, it helps government work more transparently, more responsibly, and more effectively.
The County Board helps oversee and coordinate services that touch nearly every part of our community, including:
-
Protecting and maintaining forest preserves, wetlands, and open land
-
Planning and maintaining roads and transportation systems
-
Supporting public safety, courts, and emergency services
-
Providing public health services and mental health support
-
Guiding land use, zoning, and long-term planning
-
Helping create the conditions for strong, healthy communities
County government works best when residents understand what it does and have a voice in the decisions that shape our shared future.
