Welcome Home
After a lengthy development process, we're so excited to finally welcome you to the new home of your Ware County government! Our new online home allows constituents and visitors to read about key services, important news, and other vital government information. Our online presence serves our goal to further communications with citizenry as well as increase government transparency.
With a focus on simplicity, accessibility, and ease of use, visitors can now find current information faster than before! Allow us to introduce to you some key areas of the new Ware County Government website.
The Homepage
The new homepage gives quick access to some of our most frequent requests such as:
- Researching property tax information,
- Looking up voter information and important dates,
- Signing up for emergency alerts,
- and more!
In addition, public announcements and alerts display prominently at the top of the page making sure you never miss critical information!
Department Pages
Department pages are now listed categorically, making it easier to find information especially if you're not completely sure who might handle your particular request. Have a question about the court system, but not sure who to contact? No problem! Just head to the new County Court System page which consolodates the many court systems in Ware County into a single point of reference. Need information about public safety, but not sure if it's handled by 9-1-1 or EMS? Easy! Head to the new Public Health & Safety page which groups together the many ways Ware County works to keep citizens safe!
Document Center
At the bottom of each department's page, you can now find the new document center which shows all forms, documentation, and meeting minutes that pertain to that specific department so you can find documents faster and without the need to records request most items. Need information on the current budget for Ware County? Just head to the document center at the bottom of the Finance page and download the documents!
Business Center
Reworked from the ground up we've endeavored to have an easy and clear place for bidding opportunities from Ware County Government. The Business Center shows all current/open Invitations to Bid, Requests for Information, Requests for Proposal, & Requests for Qualifications, as well as recently awarded opportunities with their Bid Tabulations or other associated information. We can't wait to work with you!
Our Thanks
Thank you for your continued patience as we made sure that we were providing the best possible tool for local government departments to distribute information! We can't wait for visitors and citizens of Ware County alike to make use of our new home! If you encounter any issues or have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out to us!
Commission Meeting Schedule
Commission Work Sessions and Regular Meetings are typically held every second Monday of each month.
Commission Called Meetings are typically held every fourth Monday of each month (except for November & December, which usually do not have a second set of meetings due to holidays).
