Departments
Finding the right San Bernardino County department or government office can save time when you need public records, property services, health programs, permits, election information, court and justice services, public safety services, or community programs. This directory brings county departments and government offices into one organized place, with a brief description of each office's primary services and a contact phone number.
Finding the Right County Department
County responsibilities are divided among specialized departments and agencies. Residents, property owners, and applicants may need the Assessor-Recorder-County Clerk, Building and Safety, Land Use Services, Code Enforcement, or the Auditor-Controller/Treasurer/Tax Collector. Residents looking for criminal justice or court-related services may need the District Attorney’s Office, Public Defender, or Probation Department. The Clerk of the Board of Supervisors handles board records, agendas, official filings, and related administrative matters, while the Registrar of Voters handles voter registration, ballots, elections, and voting information.
Health and family services are also divided according to the type of assistance needed. Public Health provides disease prevention, health programs, and community health services, while Behavioral Health focuses on mental health and substance use services. Children and Family Services, Children’s Network, Child Support Services, Preschool Services Department, Aging and Adult Services – Public Guardian, and the In-Home Supportive Services Public Authority address different child, family, older adult, and supportive-service needs. Checking the type of service provided by each office can help residents determine which department to contact.
