Access to the Winneshiek County Courthouse remains restricted

Winneshiek County officials are stressing to the public that access to the courthouse is by appointment only.

The main entrance door on the west side of the building is unlocked during the normal business hours 8:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. Mondays through Friday, but the public can only enter the small entryway area.  Within the entryway is a locked drop box to leave payments and correspondence; a bulletin board for public notices and agendas; forms and applications for common Courthouse business; and phone numbers for the various departments if the public needs access for an essential service.  The entryway is not very large, so the public is encouraged to only enter one at a time.

To make an appointment to gain entry to the building, call the appropriate department.  Phone numbers are available in the entryway or at www.winneshiekcounty.org.  

Questions or concerns can be directed to the County Auditor at (563) 382-5085 or auditor@co.winneshiek.ia.us.
