Temporary Changes in County Services Due to COVID-19

Due to high levels of community transmission of COVID-19, the County of Shasta is currently limiting in-person services.

Many services are readily available on the County website. Please click on the appropriate department from the menu below to check if you can conduct your business online.

If you need to visit a County office, please call ahead to see if an appointment is needed or if other modifications are in place. Current guidelines from the California Department of Public Health require that face coverings must be worn by individuals who are not vaccinated against COVID-19 in indoor public settings unless otherwise exempted. For details pertaining to face covering exemptions, please visit the California Department of Public Health website.
