You may contact the Community Relations Department to learn about current activities within the County. The office of Information Technologies, however, deals with computing infrastructure.

The Information Technology department is always eager to learn about new products and technologies. However, with the sheer volume of unsolicited sales calls, we prefer vendors to contact us by email, rather than by telephone or unscheduled visits, so that we may peruse these offerings more effectively.

The public is entitled to access County information as specified by the North Carolina General Statute GS 132-1, under conditions specified by North Carolina General Statute GS 132-6 with exceptions for:

• county personnel records
• basic social service records
• medical and patient records
• specific attorney client records
• specific law enforcement records
• specified records concerning industrial development
• and others as specified by the North Carolina General Statutes

Orange County Information Technologies does not directly handle these requests. Typically, the department that serves as steward of the information in question handles the request and engages Information Technologies to fulfill it. Please refer to the Public Records Policy page for more information about requesting public records.
