LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Officials said that county offices are set to reopen the first week of June.
With COVID-19 still a significant concern in our region, Lake County residents are encouraged to stay safe at home whenever possible.
County departments are seeking to provide comprehensive services in the safest possible manner, and some availability of in-person services is now permissible under the health orders, provided social distancing and other precautions are strictly observed.
As of Monday, June 1, most County offices will be reopening to the public, Monday through Thursday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., as an enhancement of services that have been available remotely throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.
Like all businesses reopening in Lake County, county departments are self-certifying they are taking appropriate safety measures. Departmental certifications will be posted at county offices upon reopening.
Each certification form will include contact information if you wish to submit a complaint.

“Residents can stay safe at home and still access many essential county services,” said Board of Supervisors Chair Moke Simon. “Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, county departments have adapted and are now able to deliver services without requiring an in-person visit.”
County Administrative Officer Carol Huchingson and Court Executive Officer Krista LeVier, recently estimated 350 to 400 people passed through security at the county courthouse in Lakeport during a typical pre-COVID-19 week.
