The City of Killeen will begin reopening many of its facilities Monday, June 1. Operations at all locations will be modified to comply with federal standards and state guidelines.

In order to slow the spread of COVID-19, the City encourages the public to conduct business via phone, email and web to the extent possible. Contact information for all City services is available at KilleenTexas.gov.

City Hall and other business offices will reopen for normal hours beginning June 1. Social distancing measures and capacity limitations will be in place for the safety of patrons and employees.

Utility Collections will resume offering services at its lobby windows. Drive through lanes will remain open as a safer alternative for customers making payments.

Killeen Police Department lobby will be open every day from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Masks will be required while in the building. Citizens are urged to use phone, email and web options to obtain non-emergency services. Non-essential services such as fingerprinting and background checks remain unavailable.

The Main Library will be open from 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday. Occupancy and services will be limited. The number of public computers will be limited, and use will be restricted to one hour per patron per day. Regular in-person programming is suspended until further notice. Copper Mountain Branch is undergoing scheduled maintenance and will reopen June 12.
