Sheriff’s Office Reopening. We are anticipating a phased reopening beginning May 6th.
- A banner will be installed facing the rear parking lot closest to the Sheriff’s Office which instructs citizens who have business with the Sheriff’s Office to remain in their vehicles and call the listed phone number. We will come to them in many cases so they do not have to enter the building. When citizens do desire to physically enter the Sheriff’s Office, they will be limited to one person at a time.
- Tax payments will be accepted until the close of business on Friday, May 15, 2020.
- Property owners may visit www.lyonsheriff.com for tax information, and they can pay their bill online at this website if they desire (fee included). They may also mail in their payment to P.O. Box 126, Eddyville, KY 42038. They may call the office at 270-388-2311 if they have any questions about their tax bill.
- Out of state vehicle inspections are being done by remote, live video chat. In some cases, vehicles may be brought to the Sheriff’s Office parking lot for physical inspection. Vehicle owners needing an inspection should call the office at 270-388-2311 for instructions.
- The Kentucky State Police CCDW Section in Frankfort has notified us today they will NOT be extending waivers on late fees, and no renewal extensions will be given; however, CCDW applicants have been given options by Sheriff White. CCDW permit holders can renew, complete change of personal information, report lost or stolen cards, etc. online at https://kspportal.ky.gov/CCDW/Public/Login.aspx. Once the permit flash pack/issuance is mailed to the applicant/permit holder, applicants can mail (to the Sheriff’s Office, P.O. Box 126, Eddyville, KY 42038) a self-addressed stamped envelope along with the issuance/flash pack, signed and with their $20.00 check (made out to the Lyon County Sheriff’s Office), and we will then mail them their permits or other information as needed.
- For all other CCDW issues, or if the applicant/permit holder does not have access to the internet, they may call (270-388-2311) or come to the Sheriff’s Office (500 West Dale Avenue, Suite 100, Eddyville, KY).
- If respondents to court actions or defendants in civil suits or other court matters need to physically pick up a paper we are trying to serve to them, they are asked to come to the back parking lot of the courthouse, and call our office (270-388-2311). We will then bring them the paperwork to their vehicle.
- To report a crime, we ask citizens to call either 270-388-2311 or 270-388-0911 (dispatch). We are prioritizing certain calls for a physical response and certain types of calls for service are being handled remotely by telephone or live chat.
- If you are a person who has an active arrest warrant (for a non-violent crime), issued by Lyon District Court, for your arrest prior to March 15, 2020 and you desire to turn yourself in, we will make arrangements to process your case and potentially release you on your own recognizance, with a court date in the coming months. This amnesty offer is only available through May 31, 2020. Call 270-388-2311 for more information.
- If you are needing an Order of Protection such as an Emergency Protective Order (EPO), Temporary Interpersonal Protective Order (TIPO), or a Show Cause Order for a violation of a Domestic Violence Order, you should call the Lyon County Circuit Clerk’s Office at 270-388-2727 during business hours (Monday – Friday, 8am-4pm). If you are seeking to petition the Court for an Order of Protection after hours or on the weekends, please call 270-388-2311 or 270-388-0911 and the Sheriff’s Office will assist you.
