Blum says you should call the Shelby County Courthouse at (712) 755-5847 Ext #2, so they can help determine if your motor vehicle/drivers license or property tax transaction will require an appointment or if they are able to assist in another manner such as online, by mail or by drop box outside the south entrance to the courthouse. Customers will enter the lower level entrances of the courthouse for their appointments with their respective office. Social distancing will be enforced in all areas of the courthouse and visitors are recommended to wear a mask. Only those needed for the appointment should enter. Please be respectful and patient while you are waiting to receive assistance.

As a reminder, no one should enter the courthouse if they currently have COVID-19 symptoms or have been in contact with anyone who has a confirmed COVID-19 diagnosis in the last 14 days. With this phase of reopening, officials say they are looking forward to assisting many of their customers in person; however, they are aware there will be limits to the number of people we can accommodate in the office, for the health safety of our community and office staff. Blum says “Please help us continue to offer all of the necessary services to our great county by conducting business remotely whenever possible.”
