Klamath Falls, September 16, 2025 — The City of Klamath Falls is taking a key step in its long-term Strategic Plan as the City Council has approved the purchase of the former AmeriTitle building to become the new City Hall.

The new facility will save millions in future building repairs and bring all City departments under one roof, making it easier and more efficient for residents to access services. This centralization will improve coordination between departments, speed up processes, and create a more welcoming and accessible experience for the community.

By investing in a modern facility, the City will also achieve long-term cost savings. The new building is in the Downtown corridor, and will replace three older facilities that require extensive and expensive upgrades, including ADA compliance, seismic retrofits, and electrical improvements.


“This is more than just a building purchase,” said City Manager Jonathan Teichert. “It’s about preventing escalating maintenance expenses and creating a City Hall that is more welcoming and efficient for our residents. From easier access to services, to long-term savings, this investment strengthens the way we serve our community today and for years to come.”

Additional benefits of the new City Hall include:

  •  Enhanced Accessibility: A fully accessible facility designed to meet community needs.
  • Improved Efficiency: Departments located together for faster service and collaboration.
  • Long-Term Savings: Avoids millions in repair and maintenance costs across three outdated buildings.
  • Fiscal Responsibility: Purchase and renovation costs are fully covered by the existing Building Reserve Fund and do not require new taxes or rate increases.
  • Community Hub: A central, modern space for residents to connect with City services.

The purchase price is $3.16 million, with total acquisition costs of $3.22 million funded through the City’s Capital Construction budget. Planning for renovations and the relocation of departments will begin in the months ahead. The City is committed to transparency and regular public updates throughout the process.
