In the wake of the COVID-19 virus pandemic, HomesteadCS, along with many other businesses in the community, have been impacted in ways we had never foreseen. Our offices are currently closed to walk in traffic but we are still working from remote sites to serve you. All calls are answered and services are still being provided. This is being handled through telephone and computer conversations now versus traditional face to face meetings. If you have questions, call. All phone calls are automatically routed to cellphones and all e-mails are accessed remotely. Documents may still be submitted by e-mail, mail or fax. If you wish to drop off a payment or document, there is a drop box accessible inside our front door. Receipts will be mailed back to you and original documents copied and returned. Normal operations are not suspended, just different. When the danger is past we will re-open and operate normally once again. In the meantime, stay safe.
