Several Fresno County departments are experiencing limited services due to a countywide network outage that began early Monday morning, officials said.

The Fresno County Information Technology Services Department has been working to resolve the issue, but there is currently no estimated time for when services will be fully restored.

What Services Are Limited?

County officials said departments across the county are either unavailable or operating with limited capacity. Some phone lines are working intermittently.

The Assessor’s Office is providing services through phone and email, while its public counter remains open with limited services because staff cannot access electronic data. The Recorder’s Office is closed to the public, but staff are answering calls.

The Auditor-Controller/Treasurer-Tax Collector’s services are limited to phone and email, and credit card payments cannot be processed.

Behavioral Health offices are operating with limited phone and email services, though all in-person clinics remain open. Emergency mental health resources, including the Fresno County Access Line at 1 (800) 654-3937, Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 988, California Warm-Line at 1 (800) 845-7415, and Mobile Crisis Team at (559) 600-6000, remain available.
