(Red Oak) Effective at 12:00 p.m. today (March 17), all Montgomery County offices will be closed to the public until further notice.
Montgomery County offices will remain open for phone calls, email business and by appointment only. The Montgomery County Board of Supervisors recommends suspending all public gatherings of 10 people or more at this time. The decision to keep all Montgomery County offices closed will be evaluated on a daily basis and decisions will be based on current public health trends, as well as guidance from the Iowa Department of Public Health and Center for Disease Control.
In the meantime, some county services can be accessed online rather than going to the courthouse. Many drivers license functions, tax payments, fine payments, etc. are quickly handled either online or by mail. Citizens are strongly encouraged to utilize these avenues rather than public exposure whenever possible. If you’re unsure if you can complete these services by mail or online, contact the corresponding office by phone.
For questions, concerns or to file papers for the June 2 Primary Election and/or November 3 General Election, call the Auditor’s Office at 623-5127 and the Auditor’s Office will provide direction to you in order to receive the paperwork for the March 20 and March 25 deadline. You may also download an absentee request form from the Montgomery County website or from the Iowa Secretary of State website.
