Contra Costa Offices Close November 11 for Veterans Day; Emergency Services Continue

CONTRA COSTA COUNTY — November 7, 2026. Contra Costa County government offices will be closed Wednesday, November 11, in observance of Veterans Day.

What will remain available?

The county’s November 6 announcement says emergency and law-enforcement services will continue during the holiday. Residents should not assume the closure means police, fire or ambulance services are unavailable. For immediate danger or emergencies, use 911.

Plan around the closure

Anyone seeking a county permit, benefits-office appointment, licensing assistance or in-person administrative service should check the relevant department’s calendar and arrange a visit before or after the holiday. Online services may remain available, but processing and staffed customer support could be delayed. Separate city offices may follow different holiday schedules.

Why Veterans Day is observed

November 11 is a federal and California public holiday recognizing military veterans. The county’s service notice helps families plan necessary visits without wasted travel. The announcement covers county government offices; it does not automatically determine the hours of private medical clinics, businesses, restaurants or municipal agencies.
