• Transparency at Larimer County

  Government accountability is important to citizens. Larimer County has added 'Transparency' pages to our web site so that it is easier for citizens to find more information about the business conducted by and with Larimer County. This site is intended to provide links to information on the Virtual Courthouse web site. We also believe transparency includes letting you know all the ways you can let public officials know what you think when you "look through" government workings, so we've added that information as well. 'See' for yourself.
