The Town of Nags Head posted this notice on its Facebook page on this afternoon. Beginning Tuesday, Jan. 19, access to Nags Head’s Town Hall, Public Works, and Police and Fire Departments will be by appointment only.
We have tried to keep our offices open during the pandemic, but at this time we must limit access to ensure the health, safety, and well-being of our citizens and employees.
If you have business with the Town call, email, or visit our website (www.nagsheadnc.com) to schedule an appointment or for additional assistance. Town Hall’s main phone line is 252-441-5508, but we encourage you to visit https://www.nagsheadnc.gov/directory.aspx for a listing of phone numbers to reach an employee directly. Visit www.nagsheadnc.gov for more information on the services that can be provided online.
All residents are encouraged to conduct utility or other miscellaneous payments online OR by depositing your payment in the payment dropbox (located outside by the Town Hall flagpole). Visit http://nagsheadnc.gov/345/Online-Inquiries-Payments to pay your utility bill online.

Thank you for your patience and understanding during this time.

I find it interesting the town is requesting people call with questions. I call the town of Nags Head often. Almost always, a receptionist picks up, who is not qualified to answer most of my planning/zoning type questions. I am transferred to a zoning officer or planner. I leave a detailed message because 99% of the time, in the middle of a work day, they seem to be unavailable. I almost never get a call back until I call again and leave another message. This routine does not happen with the 6 other local municipalities I deal with regularly. This is not covid either. It was happening before everyone was sick or contageous.

Hello Mike,
I would be happy to speak with you about your experiences. Please reach out by email at michael.zehner@nagsheadnc.gov or phone 252-449-6044. Alternatively, in the future, if you email zoning@nagsheadnc.gov your message will go to multiple relevant staff, one of which will get back to you as soon as possible. If you have questions about permits, specifically, you may email planning@nagsheadnc.gov and your message is similarly delivered to multiple relevant staff.
Best,
Michael Zehner
Town of Nags Head
Director of Planning & Development
