Yuma City Hall closes June 19 for Juneteenth holiday

City Hall will be dark on Juneteenth, but Yuma residents will still be able to pay bills, file non-emergency service requests and get trash picked up on the usual schedule. The closure falls on Friday, June 19, 2026, which is already one of the city’s regularly scheduled every-other-Friday shutdowns under its 9/80 work schedule, so the holiday does not add an extra weekday closure.

Normal business hours are set to resume Monday, June 22. Yuma City Hall operates from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, with every other Friday closed, and the Juneteenth notice fits that pattern. For residents trying to line up errands before the weekend, the practical message is simple: the front counter will be shut, but many city services will keep moving.

Trash and curbside recycling collection inside Yuma city limits will continue on schedule, with no changes to pickup days because of the holiday. That matters for households planning around summer travel, childcare and other holiday-week interruptions, especially in a city where more than 250,000 people visit each year for festivals and heritage attractions.

Several service channels will remain open while the building is closed. Residents can use the city’s website to view official documents and register for Parks and Recreation programs. A self-serve utility payment kiosk outside the main entrance of City Hall will stay available 24 hours a day and accepts cash, credit or debit payments. Residents can also submit non-emergency requests through Yuma Click & Fix for street repairs, graffiti, vandalism, streetlight outages and road sign problems.

Juneteenth became a federal holiday in 2021, and the National Archives describes it as the oldest known celebration commemorating the end of slavery in the United States, rooted in the arrival of federal troops in Galveston, Texas, on June 19, 1865. Arizona law also lists Juneteenth among the state’s legal holidays, which is why municipal offices such as Yuma City Hall observe the date.

Yuma has issued similar Juneteenth closure notices in past years, including 2025 and 2023, each time keeping residential trash and curbside recycling on normal schedules. This year’s notice follows the same model: City Hall closes for the holiday, while the city’s core service systems remain available for the residents who depend on them.
