Residents of Charlotte County, as you make your plans for the Veterans Day holiday next Tuesday, take note of the following schedule changes for government offices and facilities. The Charlotte County Administration Center, Tax Collector, Property Appraiser, and Supervisor of Elections, alongside the Clerk of the Circuit Court and County Comptroller, will be closed in observance of the holiday, details of which were released by the county's official website.
The utilities customer service office won't be staffed, but you won't be left high and dry. Bills can be paid through electronic billing via the county website or by phone at 941-764-4300. Should a water or sewer emergency arise, standby staff will be available at the same number. Garbage collectors, however, will stick to their schedule, ensuring no disruption for residents' curbside pickup.
Those looking for a mix of indoor recreation or research may need to rearrange their schedules as all Charlotte County Libraries will be closed, as confirmed by a recent statement on the county's website. Similarly, community services administration offices, the Charlotte Harbor Event and Conference Center, and the Charlotte Sports Park county offices will not be operational.
For those intent on enjoying outdoor facilities, Captain Don Cerbone Memorial Skate Park will welcome visitors, while other skate parks and most recreational centers will not. Pools at Ann & Chuck Dever Regional Park, Centennial Park, and South County Regional Park will join the long list of closings. In accordance with the detailed schedule, the Mid-County Transfer Facility, the West County Transfer Facility, and Charlotte County Transit services will hit pause for the day as well.
