Full Notification

Costa Mesa City Hall will reopen to the public beginning Monday, July 12, 2021 and will be open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., except on alternating Fridays (see dates below).

In anticipation of a high volume of customers, appointments are strongly encouraged for expedited service. Appointments will allow us to provide great customer service, reduce wait times and assist our community as efficiently as possible.

Appointments can be made at www.costamesaca.gov/appointments.

For customers with appointments, please check in upon arrival. Customers who arrive 10 minutes after their appointment time will be moved to a waitlist.

Walk-in times slots are available daily and are served by department staff as time permits.

For those without internet access, kiosks will be available in the City Hall lobby and staff will be available to assist with making appointments. If there are no appointments available for that day, customers are able to join a waitlist and be called at the next available time when staff in that Department can assist. Customers must be on site to be called from the waitlist.

As a reminder, many city services are available online.

According to the California Department of Public Health guidelines, face coverings are required inside City Hall for those who are not fully vaccinated. Fully vaccinated individuals are not required to wear a mask indoors.

Alternating Fridays that City Hall will be closed through 2021.
