County gets home-page makeover

Pinal County’s website has already undergone one extreme makeover with the launch of the now familiar site in 2008. Since, Pinal County leaders have sought to create more ways to conduct business with the county online from the comforts of home or business.

The new Pinal County main page puts all the transactional and search capabilities on the home page in a “Service Portal” on the right side of the page.

Whether visiting the site to search for tax information, view board agendas, see pending zoning cases or paying property tax, the online services portal will guide visitors to the information needed.

The public can sign up for alerts, report problems, pay certain fines and fees online or apply for jobs.

“This marks an important transition that we’ve been engaged in for several years,” said Board of Supervisors’ Chairman David Snider. “Rather than standing in line, we will try to serve you more conveniently online.”

The home page also received a makeover in terms of how to find information. User can still look up information by department from the left side of the page but information is grouped more intuitively.

For example visitors don’t need to know dog licenses come from a department called Animal Care & Control, they can click on “Pets” and get animal-related information.
