CORRECTION : "Courthouse Hours"

At the top the website is a special section that was labeled "Special Sac County Courthouse Hours"

This label was inaccurate and was based on my own perception that "Courthouse" (judicial) business is different than "County" (administrative) business. That section has been renamed "Special Sac County Clerk of Court Hours" for greater accuracy.

All other offices physically located in the Sac County Courthouse are either adhering to their usual schedule, or have chosen not to announce with TSN.
