Dakota County Snapshot
The mission of the Dakota County government is to provide efficient, effective, responsive government that achieves the Board of Commissioners' vision for Dakota County: a premier place in which to live and work.
The work County government does is unique. There are many meaningful careers that make a real difference in the lives of the citizens of Dakota County. We do everything from protecting children to protecting the environment. We pave and plow roads, provide spectacular parks, and manage premier libraries. We prosecute criminals, run a jail and monitor thousands of offenders on probation or parole. But there’s more. We keep property and vital records, issue a variety of licenses and permits, and run elections. We protect the health of communities, take care of the vulnerable and work to eliminate poverty.
Our County’s effectiveness is directly linked to the contributions made by our 1800 employees and makes our County strong. We believe in providing our employees opportunities for personal growth and success and we offer a comprehensive benefit package (including free parking) that few organizations can beat.
