Potter County Municipalities
Boroughs and Townships
Potter County is home to 30 municipalities, including townships and boroughs, each with its own local government. These local governments handle specific responsibilities, such as zoning, public works, and community services, while the county government focuses on broader functions like judicial services, emergency management, and human services. Both levels of government work as partners, not in a hierarchical structure, even though the municipalities fall within the county’s borders. They have distinct but complementary roles, ensuring that the needs of residents are addressed efficiently and appropriately.
While the county government plays a key role in managing county-wide services, local issues, such as property ordinances or road maintenance, are best handled by the respective township or borough offices. We encourage residents to contact their local government directly for these matters, knowing that the county remains a supportive partner in ensuring quality public services across the entire region.
Potter County, Pennsylvania, located in the north-central region of the state, is known for its scenic landscapes, featuring dense forests, rolling hills, and the headwaters of several rivers. As part of the Pennsylvania Wilds, it’s a popular destination for outdoor recreation, including hunting, fishing, and stargazing, particularly at Cherry Springs State Park, which is renowned for its dark skies. The county is rural, with a small population of just over 16,000 residents as of the 2020 Census. Coudersport, the county seat, serves as the central hub for commerce and government. The demographic makeup of Potter County is predominantly white, with a growing interest in sustainable development and conservation efforts. It has a strong sense of community, supported by agricultural and small business economies, and attracts both tourists and those seeking a quiet, nature-focused lifestyle.
