After a nearly two-month closure, the Aurora branch of the Clerk and Recorder’s Office reopened to the public on Monday, Aug. 1.  

The closure was required after a plumbing issue caused sewage to back up into the building. The building has since been extensively cleaned and disinfected. Damaged flooring, equipment and affected drywall have been replaced.  

“The Aurora office serves the most customers of all our branches, so we’re glad to be back serving customers who rely on us for motor vehicle and recording services,” Clerk and Recorder Joan Lopez said. “We are grateful to everyone who had to reschedule appointments, and to our staff who showed a lot of flexibility during the closure. We appreciate everyone’s patience while we were taking the steps needed to reopen safely.”
