1. Freeborn County is currently open for in-person services.
     The County has made several modifications to the public spaces in the Government Center to assure we can safely provide services to county residents.

    Residents are asked to be patient as there will likely be lines for some services provided, resulting in varying wait times.

      All visitors will be screened and face coverings required
    GOVERNMENT CENTER:

    The hours of operation will be as follows:
    License Center  8am to 4:30pm
    Veterans Services  8am to 4:30pm
    All other departments will be 8am to 5pm

    All access will be through the Law Enforcement Center (LEC) doors. 
    All other doors will remain locked.

         All visitors will be asked to maintain social distance of 6 ft in all areas. 
    All areas will have 6 ft designated boundaries. 

       The License Center is now open with no appointments necessary.  
    County Security will limit access to the License Center and have visitors wait
    in the lobby until there is room in the License Center area.  
    There WILL be waiting times for the License Center.

       Freeborn County will continue to maintain the drop boxes for all departments
    in the LEC lobby, as well as on line and mail in services.
    We highly encourage you to utilize these options whenever possible.

    FREEBORN COUNTY FAIRGROUNDS:

      Pursuant to Resolution 21-131 approved on May 4, 2021, the Freeborn County Board hereby allows, on a case by case basis, the use and opening of the Freeborn County Fairgrounds and Buildings to limited public access and business.

    This plan will be very fluid and adjustments will be made as needed.
