Nye County Offices And Courts Closed For Christmas Week

Nye County government followed a federal executive order that provided for the closure of executive departments and agencies on December 24 and December 26, 2025, by recognizing those dates and the intervening holiday period as official time off for county employees. County and town administrative offices were closed from Wednesday, December 24 through Friday, December 26, 2025. The Fifth Judicial District court and the Justice Courts in Pahrump, Beatty and Tonopah were also closed during that period.

The county further observed Thursday, January 1, 2026 as a holiday in recognition of New Year s Day. Regular business hours resumed on Monday, December 29, 2025, before the New Year closure. Residents who had business scheduled with county departments or court appearances during the closure period were advised to take note that routine in person services and clerk s offices were not available on those dates.

Emergency service offices were closed for administrative business but field operations continued to function. Those needs that require on the ground response remained the responsibility of emergency personnel working in the field. Animal control services continued to operate on holidays and weekends and could be reached at (775) 751 6315. Callers were asked to leave a detailed message so staff could respond appropriately.

For local residents, the short holiday closure means delays in filing documents, obtaining permits, and completing non urgent transactions that normally require a visit to county offices or the courts. Businesses and individuals with time sensitive matters were encouraged to plan for the interruptions, and to confirm any rescheduled hearings or appointments with the appropriate office after normal operations resumed.

The county s decision to align with the federal order reflected standard practice for synchronizing employee holiday observances with broader government closures. As county offices returned to regular hours on December 29, 2025, staff advised the public to contact relevant departments directly for specific reopening information and scheduling of services.
