Which holidays are affected?

If a County holiday falls during the week (Monday – Friday), all collections scheduled on or after the holiday will "slide" and be made one day later that week. If the holiday falls on the weekend, but the County observes the holiday on the Friday before or the Monday after the actual holiday, there is no change in the collection schedule.
