November Election Write In
Due to a clerical error, Falls City’s elected officials will not be on the ballot for the upcoming November election. After consultation with the Polk County Clerk, we have made the decision to inform the community of the candidates who have put their name forward for a write-in option.

City Hall at 200 Parry!
Since June 1st City Hall has resided in the resource center at 200 Parry. We are settling in and working on getting signs up and our bulletin board. We are also working on getting a drop box secured, but until that time please drop you water payments in the MAILBOX. City Hall is continuing to assist Polk County FCO with resource center services.
