City Offices Closed to the Public Beginning Monday, Dec. 7

Effective Monday, Dec. 7, all City of Wheeling offices located in the City-County building, 1500 Chapline Street will be closed to the public until further notice. Such action is in response to the increase in positive COVID-19 cases in Ohio County.

Offices will remain staffed. If needed, appointments can be made with respective department heads. While the police department will remain open, walk-in reports are discouraged and all reports should be filed via telephone by calling 304-234-3664. For police, fire and medical emergencies, call 9-1-1.

Wheeling residents who need to pay utility bills or parking tickets can do so by utilizing the payment drop box inside the first set of doors at the main entrance of the City-County Building. Those wishing to utilize the drop box, which is clearly marked, do not have to go through security to access it.

Those wishing to pay a parking ticket via the Food for Fines program –five non-perishable food items in lieu of a $10 parking ticket –should contact the Finance Office at (304) 234-6472 to make arrangements for drop off.

The City’s Building & Planning Department will continue to do building inspections.
