Phone calls made directly to the courthouse are not recorded so if you ask if you have pending fines and they tell you there is nothing on record and it eventually pops up again and they arrest you for said fine good luck. All I have is the date and the time I placed my call but I can't even use that in court. Crooked county.

The place never fails to give me a headache 😩. But aside from that,... Nebraska folks are just a cut above when it comes to how we treat others, so of course the staff is AmAAZingg. Best to avoid the jail though!!

I worked with Gina in the Treasurer's department. She was awesome! She was so very helpful and informative. I bought a new-to-me vehicle, though plates and taxes weren't a new process for me, she explained everything, and walked me through what she was doing and all the price totals. She even offered to renew my tags due next month on my other vehicles, before I even asked! She was polite and was honestly so very pleasant to work with. I wish I could request her next time I come the treasurer's office, not that anybody else there is unpleasant. Awesome experience on this visit!

After renovation, this beautiful courthouse is more spectacular than ever! A must-see if you are in covered bridge territory! Although we have never been inside, just a walk around the square is a delight! There are plenty of quaint shops and curiosities to explore and there is plenty of parking around the square!
