Polk County owns over 25 buildings (plus park facilities) used for providing services to the
public. When necessary, the County has also leased space to house offices when owned
facilities were not practical or available. These owned and leased facilities provide a
wide array of services ranging from public health & safety to entertainment. Iowa counties
are also required to provide facilities from which certain State functions must operate;
these are primarily courts and human services.
Polk County Facilities and the functions housed in them are listed below. For more
information on services, see sites for individual departments or services listings on
each web page.
