We manage county fiscal information while helping to acquire the necessary goods and services to make our county run smoothly
Clackamas County takes the responsibility of managing public dollars very seriously. Every day, we try to be as efficient as possible with our residents’ tax dollars. But we don’t want residents to simply take our word for it. That’s why we have audit measures in place.
Clackamas County has been awarded The Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting. The Department of Finance centers its mission on the values of accountability, customer service and integrity. Our team serves the public and internal customers by providing timely and accurate fiscal information, evaluating financial alternatives and coordinating among departments to meet the county's public service goals. We also manage the acquisition of county goods and services, and we maintain sound, healthy and accessible county buildings and other facilities, protecting the county's investment in our public spaces.
