Click for the Town of Chatham COVID-19 Information

The Town of Chatham (Town), Virginia is actively reducing person-to-person transmission of COVID-19 disease. COVID-19 is a novel coronavirus with a global health impact on all continents and countries. The World Health Organization (WHO) declared the spread of COVID-19 a pandemic on March 11, 2020. COVID-19 has forced governments, states, and communities to mitigate its impact on public health.
 
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is leading science research and providing national guidance on COVID-19 mitigation efforts in the United States. Keep up with the latest national developments at Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) page on the CDC’s website.
 
The Commonwealth and the Town
The Town is currently operating under Virginia’s Safer at Home Phase Three plan for reopening the Commonwealth after the economic and social shutdown caused by COVID-19. The Safer at Home Phase Three plan began on July 1, 2020. The Town is complying with this plan. The Safer at Home Phase Three plan is the Town’s primary guidance for conducting routine Town business and engaging the public. Learn more at Safer at Home Phase Three.
 
Town Business
It is strongly encouraged that all business conducted with the Town be completed over the phone or by email. Appointments with Town personnel can also be made. These forms of communication eliminate the person-to-person transmission of COVID-19.
 
The use of the Town’s online payment system, Official Payments, is also strongly encouraged to reduce disease transmission. Official Payments can process payments for personal property taxes, real estate taxes, tickets & fines, and utilities. If you have questions in its use, please contact the Town during regular business hours. The staff will be happy to assist you.
