Geary County Office Hours Modified - EDITED FOR CLARITY

Beginning June 1, Geary County Office Hours Modified

At the April 27, 2026 meeting, the Commission approved modifying office hours for the County on a six-month trial run beginning June 1.

Please note while we are openly posting specific by-appointment only hours with these modifications, our current operations in the office building are the same. Presently, the building doors open at 8:30 am, but 3 of the 5 offices are available at 8 am. The modifications will be similar as 3 of the 5 offices will still be available prior to the doors opening at 8:00 am. However, all offices will be available to serve the public at 8 am when the building doors open. All offices will be available to serve the public until 5 pm Monday-Thursday and the office building will be open until 12:30 pm on Friday.

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES FOR THE COUNTY OFFICE BUILDING:

1. The office building will be open at 8 am Monday-Friday.
2. Services in the Treasurer’s office will be by appointment only on FRIDAY. The rest of the week the Treasurer’s office will take both walk-ins and appointments.
3. The office building will close at 12:30 pm on Friday. The rest of the week it will still be open until 5 pm.

OTHER BUILDING CHANGES:

There are no changes to the winter hours for the Public Works/Noxious W**d building. They will continue to open at 8 am and close at 4:30 pm Monday through Friday each week from Labor to Memorial Day. They are adjusting their summer schedule from Memorial to Labor Day for their administrative staff, road crew, noxious w**d and building maintenance, working 7-4:30 Monday through Thursday and 7-11 am on Fridays.

There are no changes to the Transfer Station hours. They will continue to be open 8-4 pm Monday through Friday and Saturdays from 8-2 pm.

Public servants play critical roles in communities around the country - at the federal, state, and local levels. From one area of public service to all the others out there - THANK YOU!! You ARE appreciated.

Every day, public servants across our state show up to serve their fellow Kansans, solve problems, and keep Kansas moving forward. I've proclaimed this week as Public Service Recognition Week to recognize these unsung heroes. Thank you for your service to our state.

Does it seem fishy? Even if just part of you questions it - DON'T click on any links or respond. Safety first - call them up (not through any information provided in the text or email) and verify. STAY SAFE online!

*******SCAM ALERT********

A lot of members of our community have received text messages with an attached picture or variations claiming to be various courts throughout Kansas posing with them listed as a defendant for not paying tolls. These messages are not real or legitimate.

The Kansas Turnpike Authority does NOT send unsolicited text messages regarding unpaid tolls.

If you receive one of these messages, the best practice is to block and delete them. DO NOT provide any personal or banking information to anyone you cannot verify who they actually are. If you have any questions, contact the Geary County Sheriff's Office.

Heads up Geary County! We're in a tornado watch until 9 p.m. tonight (could be updated). Stay weather aware.

Storms are expected to develop this afternoon and form a line that pushes east across the area through this evening. Large hail and damaging winds are the main hazards, but a couple of tornadoes are also possible. Stay weather aware today!

Congratulations LT. Hansen!
