The Facilities Management Department provides technical and managerial support of County buildings and properties. The department renovates, repairs, maintains, constructs, and operates County properties; manages major capital improvement projects; and monitors and tracks leases between other departments and private businesses and other governmental units.

The department has budgetary control of the operation and maintenance of multiple County properties, including the County Administration Building, Kent County Courthouse, 82 Ionia, Juvenile Detention Center, Health Department facilities (including clinics and Animal Shelter), and numerous other County facilities and properties.
