🏛️ Another local governmental office is heading home! The Kerr County District Clerk's Office is relocating back to the courthouse this week. 💙💛

The July flood severely damaged the lower level of the courthouse, including its elevators, forcing officials to close the facility and relocate all departments housed there to temporary sites.

While offices on the main floor were able to return in early September, those from the second floor had to wait for the main elevator to be repaired.

Fortunately, the elevator has been fixed! The District Clerk's office will say goodbye to its temporary home at the Hill Country Youth Event Center and move back to Suite 236 on the courthouse's second floor.
