Officials in Adams County, today (Tuesday), said “For the safety and concern of the public and our employees due to COVID-19, the Adams County Board of Supervisors will limit access by the public to the Adams County Courthouse. Beginning [today] Tuesday, March 17, 2020, only the southwest door (handicapped accessible) will be open. All persons entering the building will need to check-in at that point with courthouse staff logging their names and addresses and purpose of business. You will be directed to the office that you are needing and then instructed to return and log out. This procedure is being implemented to track exposure should that become an issue. If you are not feeling well or possibly at risk, please refrain from visiting the courthouse.”

Various office staff they said, will be more than willing to assist you by phone or email to conduct business or to answer any questions you may have regarding this situation. Officials recommend you call or email before visiting the courthouse or the Engineer/Secondary Roads Office. Our website www.adamscountyia.com and facebook page https://www.facebook.com/Adams-County-Iowa-785169628245330/ will post other announcements and changes as needed.

Persons needing the Sheriff’s Department should use the east doors by the Sheriff’s Office. There is an intercom for your use to speak with the Sheriff’s Department. 641-322-4444
