FORT PAYNE, Ala. — At today's meeting of the DeKalb County Commission, it was announced that the DeKalb County Courthouse, along with the DeKalb County Activities Building and Public Library, will reopen for limited hours beginning on Monday, May 18.

The amended hours for the Courthouse will be Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

All rules and regulations set by Governor Kay Ivey's latest statewide health order will be in place.

Last month, these offices closed to the public, due to the developing COVID-19 pandemic.
