The Dakota County Residential Survey provides residents an opportunity to rate the quality of life in the county as well as service delivery and their satisfaction with county government. The survey also gives residents an avenue to provide feedback to the county about what is working well and what is not, and to share their priorities for the county.
When conducting residential surveys, Dakota County forms a partnership with several other counties, which cuts costs and allows real-time comparisons with similar organizations that serve demographically similar residents.
In 2025, Dakota County completed the most recent round of the Residential Survey.
