Changes at Joshua City Hall

Daylight Saving Time

Daylight Saving Time will begin at 2:00 AM on Sunday, March 8, 2020. If it seems to you like this day used to come later in the year, you're right. Prior to 2007, when the Energy Act of 2005 took effect, we used to "spring forward" during the first week of April and "fall back" during the final weekend of October.

Good Friday - April 10, 2020 (City Offices Closed)
