Walton County Governmental Office Closings #30a #michael 

All Walton County Governmental Offices will be closed on Friday, October 12th and will reopen for regular business on Monday, October 15th at normal business hours.  The offices are as follows:

  • Walton County Board of Commission Offices
  • Walton County School System (Includes all special events and football games)
  • Judicial Systems
  • Tax Collector’s Office
  • Property Appraiser’s Office
  • Supervisor of Elections
  • Clerk of Courts

All Walton County School System employees should report to work on their regular schedule on Monday, October 15th.  Students will not report back to school until Tuesday, October 16th due to the scheduled teacher workday on Monday.

The need for the closures on Friday are due to several factors.

  • Over 15,000 Walton County residents remain without power
  • Facilities must be prepared to receive employees, students and the public
  • Communications with Tallahassee are limited at this time due to the power outages.  These limitations are affecting the issuance of driver’s licenses, vehicular titles or concealed weapons permits

At this time, there are no curfews in place for Walton County, but we want to remind the public to be careful while travelling around the County and to mindful that emergency support vehicles and assessment teams are travelling throughout the County.
