Are you curious about what goes on behind the scenes at Larimer County? Maybe you're mystified by what a county does at all! You're not alone - counties are often considered the "forgotten" level of government, but we're working hard for our community members every day. 

From community justice to restaurant inspections to county roads, Larimer County provides essential services that you may rely on without even knowing it! "Unlock" the secrets of county government with our informative, experiential learning series, Larimer: Unlocked! 

Each session investigates a different aspect of county government and offers firsthand opportunities to see what Larimer County is doing for you!  

Aerial view of a modern community justice campus with tan buildings surrounding a landscaped courtyard featuring circular seating, walking paths, grass, and a small pond; bicycle racks and a parking lot are visible. A green graphic overlay in the lower left reads “Larimer Unlocked: Community Justice Alternatives.”
