Because of a continued surge in COVID-19 cases in the area, a number of Hall County government facilities will be open by appointment only until further notice.
When the county announced the plan to limit access to facilities earlier this month, the plan had been to fully reopen by Tuesday, Jan. 19.; that will not happen.

"We have continued to monitor data from national, state and local health officials and believe continuing to operate in this manner will help slow the spread of COVID-19 in our community while allowing us to maintain the delivery of government services to our citizens," said Hall County Administrator Jock Connell in a prepared statement released Friday.
A complete list of departments available for appointment-only services, along with contact information and current operating hours, is available at www.hallcounty.org.
Hall County residents can schedule an appointment by calling 770-535-8288. Appointments must be booked by 5 p.m. the day prior to the day of the requested appointment.
Meanwhile, citizens are still encouraged to conduct any county business on Hall County’s website when possible. Online motor vehicle services, including vehicle registration renewals, the payment of insurance fines, etc. are all available via the "Online Payments" button on the website. That is also where citizens can pay their property tax, renew their business license, and more.
