Updated March 22, 2021 - With the Governor’s recent announcement that all counties will move to Phase 3 of Healthy Washington Roadmap to Recovery on March 22, 2021, his office is in the process of developing reopening guidance for businesses and workers. Updated guidance can be found here. The phasing under the Healthy Washington Roadmap to Recovery plan replaces the phasing described in the prior Stay Home Stay Heathy plan. This prior plan had government offices reopening to in person services in Phase 3. With the exception of the County Courthouse, County administrative offices continue to remain closed to walk in services. Assistance and services are available through the County’s webpage, via department webchats or by contacting Kitsap 1 at 360.337.5777 or email: help@kitsap1.com.
To protect the public and our staff, most Kitsap County government services are now online, by email, or by phone.
This page is designed to help you find county government services and contact information. We have closed most public service counters, but county staff are still working and can serve you remotely. All doors across the county campus are locked with exception of the courthouse front doors. View the drop-down sections below to find the county service you need. If you're not sure who to contact or need to report a problem with a county service, please contact Kitsap1 for help.
