Summary of Which Government Offices are Closed Today for Cesar Chavez Day, March 31, 2025

Since today is Monday, March 31, 2025, and César Chávez Day is being observed, I'll use the provided web search results to determine which offices are closed in Los Angeles, Ventura, and Orange Counties for the holiday. César Chávez Day is a state holiday in California, but closures can vary by county and jurisdiction, so let's break this down systematically.

Understanding César Chávez Day Closures

César Chávez Day, observed on March 31, honors the legacy of the civil rights and labor leader. It's a state holiday in California, but not a federal holiday, meaning state and local government offices may close, while federal offices typically remain open. The web results provide specific details about closures in various regions, which I'll apply to Los Angeles, Ventura, and Orange Counties.

Closures by County

Los Angeles County

Web ID 0 (Newsweek, 2025-03-31) states: "Most Los Angeles city and county agencies will be closed on Monday, March 31, in observance of César Chávez Day."

This indicates that:

Los Angeles County government offices (e.g., administrative offices, public health services, and social services) are closed.

Los Angeles city offices (e.g., city hall, permitting offices, and other municipal services) are also closed.

Web ID 1 (Daily News, 2017-08-28) provides a historical perspective, noting that "Federal and Los Angeles County and DMV offices will be open both days" for César Chávez Day. However, this conflicts with the more recent 2025 information from Web ID 0. Since Web ID 0 is more current and specific to 2025, I'll prioritize its information, meaning Los Angeles County offices are likely closed.

Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV): Web ID 2 (The Reporter, 2025-03-28) states that the DMV will be closed across California as part of state office closures. This overrides the older Web ID 1 data, so the DMV in Los Angeles County is closed.

Courts: While Web ID 2 mentions that Solano County courts are closed, Web ID 0 doesn't specify court closures in Los Angeles. However, since California state courts typically follow state holidays, it's reasonable to infer that Los Angeles County Superior Courts are closed.

Federal Offices: Web ID 2 confirms that federal offices remain open, so federal offices in Los Angeles County (e.g., Social Security offices, federal courthouses) are open.

Summary for Los Angeles County:

Closed: Los Angeles County government offices, Los Angeles city offices, DMV, and likely Los Angeles County Superior Courts.

Open: Federal offices.

Ventura County

Web ID 0 (Newsweek) doesn't mention Ventura County specifically, but it provides a broader context of closures in California.

Web ID 1 (Daily News) notes that "Ventura County's Gold Coast buses" will run on a regular schedule, indicating that transit services are operational. However, this doesn't directly address government office closures.

Web ID 2 (The Reporter) states that "state, county, city offices and the Department of Motor Vehicles will be closed" for César Chávez Day as a California state holiday. Since Ventura County is in California, this applies:

Ventura County government offices (e.g., county administration, public works) are closed.

City offices in Ventura County (e.g., in cities like Oxnard, Ventura, or Thousand Oaks) are likely closed, though this can vary by city.

DMV offices in Ventura County are closed, as per the statewide closure.

Courts: Following the pattern of state holidays, Ventura County Superior Courts are likely closed, though not explicitly mentioned in the web results.

Federal Offices: As with Los Angeles, federal offices in Ventura County remain open.

Summary for Ventura County:

Closed: Ventura County government offices, most city offices (e.g., Oxnard, Ventura), DMV, and likely Ventura County Superior Courts.

Open: Federal offices, Ventura County transit services (e.g., Gold Coast buses).

Orange County

Web ID 0 (Newsweek) doesn't mention Orange County specifically.

Web ID 1 (Daily News) and Web ID 2 (The Reporter) provide general guidance for California. Web ID 2's statement that "state, county, city offices and the Department of Motor Vehicles will be closed" applies to Orange County as well:

Orange County government offices (e.g., county administration, health services) are closed.

City offices in Orange County (e.g., in cities like Santa Ana, Irvine, or Anaheim) are likely closed, though some cities may opt out of full closures.

DMV offices in Orange County are closed.

Courts: As with the other counties, Orange County Superior Courts are likely closed due to the state holiday.

Federal Offices: Federal offices in Orange County remain open, per Web ID 2.

Summary for Orange County:

Closed: Orange County government offices, most city offices (e.g., Santa Ana, Irvine), DMV, and likely Orange County Superior Courts.

Open: Federal offices.

Additional Notes

Variations in City Closures: While county offices are generally closed, some cities within these counties might not observe full closures. For example, a city like Irvine in Orange County might keep essential services (e.g., police, fire) operational, even if administrative offices are closed.

Other Services:

Transit: Web ID 1 mentions that Los Angeles transit services (e.g., buses, subways) run on a regular schedule, and Ventura County's Gold Coast buses are also operational. It's likely that Orange County transit (e.g., OCTA buses) follows a similar pattern and remains open.

Animal Services: Web ID 0 notes that in El Paso, animal services are partially open. This suggests that animal shelters in Los Angeles, Ventura, or Orange Counties might be partially open for emergencies, but this isn't confirmed in the data.

Banks: Web ID 2 mentions that banks in Solano County are open. This likely applies to Los Angeles, Ventura, and Orange Counties as well, as César Chávez Day isn't a federal banking holiday.
