It’s time once again for the Annual New Year’s Resolutions reminders! This is to remind you of certain duties and requirements for Commissioners. The first Commission meeting of the year is a good time to adopt policies and set guidelines for the year.

We frequently get asked whether or not County Courthouses and County offices may be closed on Christmas Eve, Good Friday, or any other day not specified as a holiday.  For all County offices headed by elected officials, with the notable exception of the County Commissioners’ office, the answer is No.  However, County offices and operations not enumerated in MCA Section 7-4-2211 (i.e.; the Commissioners’ office and various departments) may be closed.  Please click the link below for further information.
