Stutsman County website centralizes government services, meetings and records

Stutsman County’s official website now functions as the principal hub for county government services, public notices and meeting access for residents of Jamestown, Medina and Buchanan. The site consolidates commission and board schedules, department contacts, election and voting information, and tools such as the county GIS portal to make local government more accessible.

The County Commission maintains a regular cadence with meetings set for the first and third Tuesday of each month. Park Board meetings begin at 8:30 a.m., with the commission meeting to follow. Meeting minutes and live streams are posted on the site, enabling residents who cannot attend in person to follow deliberations and decisions shaping local policy and county operations.

Operational contacts and department pages are available for functions that directly affect daily life in the county. The Auditor/COO is listed as Jessica Alonge, and residents can find links to the treasurer, recorder, assessor and law enforcement pages for tax, property, record and public safety matters. Election and voting resources on the site provide officials’ notices and procedural information relevant to upcoming elections and voter requirements. The county GIS portal supplies mapping and property data used by landowners, surveyors and municipal officials for planning and assessment work.

Consolidating these resources on a single authoritative website has practical consequences for routine transactions and civic engagement. Property owners benefit from easier access to records and assessment information when buying, selling or appealing valuations. Voters can locate public notices and election details without navigating multiple sources, and community organizations can track agendas and minutes to prepare testimony or petitions. For Jamestown-area businesses and farmers, having links to licensing, permitting and enforcement agencies in one place reduces friction in compliance and planning.

This local effort also reflects broader trends in digital governance, where transparent access to records, live meeting streams and geospatial information supports accountability and more informed participation. For a rural county that spans diverse communities, central online resources help bridge distances between outlying residents and decision-makers in county government.

Residents should use the site to review meeting agendas and minutes, watch live streams when posted, and consult department pages for contact details and service procedures. Keeping these resources current will be important as the county faces budget decisions, land use questions and election cycles in the year ahead. The website aims to keep local government within reach for every Stutsman County resident; check stutsmancounty.gov for the latest updates and posted materials.
