Official Burt County Contacts
For a same-day Burt County jail question, start with the sheriff's office because no official searchable Burt County roster or sheriff app was found in the research. The county lists Sheriff Eric Nick and places the office in the courthouse basement. County public hours are 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.
