As the holiday season beckons, Boulder County is gearing up for some downtimes in its government offices, bearing in mind the traditions and celebrations that mark this time of year. A heads up for residents, who might be planning a trip to these offices, you'll have to work around some closures. According to Boulder County, offices will shut their doors early on Christmas Eve, December 24, at noon and will not reopen until after Christmas Day. The same schedule applies for New Year's Eve and New Year's Day.
The buzz of the holidays doesn't stop judicial wheels from needing a break, both the 20th Judicial District Court and the District Attorney's Office are slated to be closed on December 25 and January 1, which means if you've got court business, you better get it sorted before the eggnog starts flowing. Optimistically though, those in need of emergency services, continuous maintenance operations, or vital child and adult protection services will find no interruptions, as confirmed by Boulder County, as these essential functions will continue through the holiday period without missing a beat, it's a good reminder of the 24/7 nature of some arms of local governance.
For those plotting to capitalize on the remainder of 2024 to settle their affairs or partake in the services offered by the county, be aware that regularly scheduled office hours will resume following the holiday disruptions. For instant answers or to bypass in-person visits entirely, the Boulder County website provides a range of online services available to the community, which is particularly useful during such office shut-downs. So, whether it's paying your property taxes online or finding out how to apply for a marriage license from the comfort of your home, they've pretty much got you covered.
