Washington County residents should check their mailboxes in February to see if they are one of the 4,500 households randomly selected to take part in the 2025 Washington County Community Survey.
This survey is a chance for residents to share their thoughts and help shape future decisions in the county. Each of the five commissioner districts will have 900 households selected to participate. The survey results, which are statistically valid, will be shared by early summer and will inform future decision-making by county staff and commissioners.
Participants can choose one of two ways to complete the survey: online or on paper. Selected households will receive a postcard with instructions on how to access the online survey, which will be available in English, Spanish, and Hmong. If preferred, a paper copy of the survey will be mailed shortly after the postcard. The survey is confidential, and no personal information will be collected or shared.
Washington County values hearing from its community members and has been conducting regular surveys to gather public opinions since 2001. This year, Washington County has partnered with Dakota, Olmsted, Scott, and St. Louis counties to produce the survey, which is being conducted by Polco/National Research Center, Inc.
If your household is selected, the county encourages you to participate and make your voice heard.
