On March 21, 2020, the Marion County Board of Commissioners voted to close county facilities to the public in response to the COVID-19 outbreak. Many services are modified to prioritize the health and safety of both the public and Marion County staff. While some buildings are physically closed, services may still be offered online, via telephone or via virtual venues and in some circumstances by appointment.
