Floyd County Admin Offices on Delayed Start

For Immediate Release: January 23, 2026

Floyd County Admin Offices on Delayed Start

Due to forecast inclement weather, Floyd County administrative offices will delay opening until 10:00 AM on Monday, January 26, 2026.

Chief Judge John E. Niedrach issued an order to close the Floyd County courthouse and declaration of judicial emergency for Monday, January 26, 2026. The courthouse will reopen on Tuesday, January 27, 2026, unless the emergency is extended by further order of the court.

An ice storm warning has been issued for much of north Georgia for ice accumulations of 0.25 to 1” with locally higher amounts possible. Gusty winds 20-30 mph at times will enhance the risk of downed trees and power lines potentially resulting in power outages. Extreme cold behind the system late Sunday night into Monday morning will likely result in a re-freeze of any liquid or ice remaining.

The delayed opening will give officials time to assess road and weather conditions. All essential personnel will report as scheduled unless they have made other arrangements with their supervisors. Any employees who may still have traveling difficulties due to the weather at 10:00 AM will need to contact their supervisors to make other arrangements.

We will continue to closely monitor weather conditions and share any updates on our website www.floydcountyga.gov and social media outlets.
