The Washington County Courthouse is closed to the public. Washington County Board of Supervisors Chairman Jack Seward explains the measures the board approved Tuesday, “In order that we may limit the spread, in other words by discouraging people coming into contact with one another in certain places, we also discussed moving the county operations into essential personnel only, essential operations only. So we decided that we were going to close the courthouse and allow the department heads located outside the courthouse to limit access to their buildings.” The closure began Tuesday at noon. If any employees are deemed non-essential, they will be placed on paid administrative leave.

Seward said the Board will hold a regular session meeting next week and will discuss options for electronic meetings. Citizens are recommended to call the courthouse for assistance with any business or to do it online.
