NORRISTOWN, PA – As a proactive step to further reduce the possibility of contagion between municipal staff and the public during the COVID-19 outbreak, Norristown Municipal Hall will be closed to all visitors effective March 18.
Daily municipal operations will continue as normal.
Anyone needing to come to Municipal Hall to pay a bill, drop off permit applications, handicap parking applications, or any other documentation may do so through the mail slot at the main entrance doors on East Airy Street during regular business hours from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. These items will be collected at the end of each work day and distributed to the proper department.
Anything being dropped off that includes form of a payment should be in the form of a personal check, cashier’s check or money order in the full amount of what is owed. Cash will not be accepted. A name, address, phone number/email address should be left with payments left at Municipal Hall. The municipality can accept payments over the telephone as well.
