To the Citizens of Bates County:

Effective today, Wednesday, March 18, 2020 at 12:00pm the Bates County Administration Building will be closed to the public until further notice. This is an effort to help protect the public by reducing the chances of contact with the COVID-19 virus.

County Offices will still be able to meet most needs through alternative methods. The public will need to call the specific County office they have business with for direction on how to conduct business. Options may include by phone, fax, email, drop box, and curb service. Below is a list of phone numbers to reach your county offices.
