Churchill County government
With a state of emergency being declared by the State of Nevada due to COVID-19, Churchill County is taking additional measures to help protect its citizens and county staff. If you are a member of a vulnerable population (those 65+ and anyone with underlying health issues) we strongly urge you to conduct any county business by phone or using online services.
Effective immediately, the following county services are closed:
Churchill County officials made the decision to institute a “by appointment only” policy for the departments located in the County Administration Building, located at 155 North Taylor Street. Residents are highly encouraged to utilize the County’s website at www.churchillcounty.org, as many options exist for doing business online or over via telephone. Information on Churchill County actions regarding COVID-19 may be found on its website at: www.churchillcounty.org/covid-19 This page is updated regularly as information becomes available.
Churchill County Sheriff’s Office
The Churchill County Sheriff's Office will continue to provide law enforcement services at this time with the following exceptions:
• Inmate video visitation in the front lobby has been suspended until further notice. If you wish to have video visitation, that can still be done from your home as usual; however, there is a cost involved. Inmates can always make outgoing phone calls and send and receive mail.
• We prefer to contact reporting parties in person when they make calls for service, but depending on the type of request, we may try to complete the call for assistance with a phone call first. This will minimize our contact with people for both the safety of the public and our deputies and families.
CART
Churchill Area Regional Transportation (CART) will only be providing essential transportation services to medical, nutrition, and employment appointments during this time of reduced services and social distancing.
Pennington Life Center
Churchill County officials made the decision to reduce or modify services at its William N. Pennington Life Center, effective immediately.
