The County of Tehama is a charter county in northern California that operates under a board-administrator form of government. Its governance rests with a five-member Board of Supervisors that elects a Chief Administrator to oversee county operations. With 25 departments, the county provides public safety, public health, and other community services to a rural population, centered in Red Bluff, the county seat along Interstate 5 near the Sacramento River. The county workforce is described as more than 800 employees serving the 25 departments. Its primary customers are Tehama County residents who rely on public safety, health services, and community support. In 2024, the Board of Supervisors awarded a contract to S.T. Rhoades Construction to build a roundabout, reflecting ongoing infrastructure development.
