The rental agreement may be faxed to 970 345-2702, but will not be considered completed until the damage deposit is received.

Keys may be checked out from the Commissioners Office in the Washington County Courthouse one or two days prior to your scheduled event.

There will be a $25.00 for non-returned keys. Damage deposits will be held until all keys are returned.
