Welcome to the New IoniaCounty.Org!
Welcome to the new face of Ionia County Online! We are excited to bring you this new, feature rich, redesigned website! We hope you will find this site functional as well as easy to use. We also hope that you will take a few minutes to navigate through the site to see the changes that we have made.
A couple of new features we have incorporated into the new design include the "How Do I...?" search box in the upper right corner of the site. Please do not hesitate to use this box to find the department or service you require! We know how daunting it can be to try to find a department or service when you don't even know where to begin! One example of this might be if one were looking to get a copy of a birth certificate. Simply type "birth certificate" in the search box (without the quotations) and press enter on your keyboard or click "Search Our Site"! You will instantly be directed to all of the results having to do with birth certificates!
Another great feature of the new site is the FAQ/Help Desk section in the main, upper menu. This section has a list of the most frequently asked questions requested by Ionia County guests. Simply find the one you are looking for to obtain the answer you require.
Please be our guest and look around the site. We will be continually updating the site to keep you up to date and informed on the business and issues in Ionia County. We look forward to your visit!
