County website has a new look

Washington County's website has a new look, new navigation and a new domain name: www.washingtoncountyor.gov


The new site makes it easier locate information and services. It is mobile-friendly and helps visitors get business done with the County more quickly.  The multiyear redesign process included extensive stakeholder outreach, including public surveys and targeted community engagement.


The email addresses for County services, departments and staff have also changed. All emails now end with @washingtoncountyor.gov. While the previous email addresses continue to work, using the updated emails is highly recommended.
