Whether you were born and raised here in Tompkins County, or haven't even been here yet, you will probably find something new, interesting, and useful on these webpages. Welcome! Beyond this screen, where will you find Tompkins County Government? You'll find it when you land at our beautiful, convenient airport, and take a TCAT bus to your destination, probably traveling over roads built and maintained by Tompkins County. You'll enjoy the work of our employees at a local restaurant that passed its Health Department inspection, and complete your evening at a theater supported by our Tourism Program. If you're looking for a job, or home health care, or a library book, or an absentee ballot, county workers are there to help. Should you ever need a sheriff's deputy or an answer to your 911 call, you'll find county tax dollars hard at work. The list goes on. We're very proud of the people who make Tompkins County work - for you." |
