Welcome to Baldwin County

---

So, you have made the move to paradise, the 7th fastest growing metropolitan area in the United States, a county 10 years older than the State of Alabama and the largest in the State of Alabama, encompassing over 1,600 square miles - now what?  With such a large and diverse county, it is difficult for new residents to know where to begin as they transition everything from schools to driver's license.  Below is a list to help get you started, but it by no means covers everything.  

The County Commission's mission is to provide customer-focused services to people who live, work, and visit Baldwin County so they can enjoy a safe and thriving community and experience our unique heritage and natural resources.  County, State, Federal, and 28th Judicial Court Offices are often co-located in our facilities around the county for your convenience, but navigating who does what can be a challenge.  If you have additional questions we encourage you to reach out to our Citizen Service Center by phone or email.  We want to be your "One Stop Shop" for Baldwin County Government services and information.
