Do you think San Antonio's holiday service changes make life easier for residents?
City Hall and most municipal offices in San Antonio close Wednesday, November 11, 2026, for Veterans Day. Public safety and emergency services remain in operation, and regular business hours resume Thursday, November 12, 2026.
Why it matters
City Hall and most municipal offices close in observance of Veterans Day. Residents needing city services on the holiday should plan around the reduced schedule and the limited hours of the 3-1-1 service line.
The 3-1-1 service line runs 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and again from 5 to 11 p.m. on the holiday, while all four bulky waste drop-off centers are closed. The extraction does not state whether those drop-off schedules will change later in the week.
The players
City of San Antonio
The City of San Antonio is the municipal government of Texas's seventh-most populous city, responsible for city hall, public safety, parks, and solid waste services.
The details
Public safety, police, fire and EMS personnel remain on duty, and Animal Care Officers and Code Enforcement Officers are available for emergency coverage. Downtown on-street parking meters are free, though off-street city-operated garages and lots are not covered by the holiday, and the Bitters Brush site and Culebra Household Hazardous Waste center are closed.
Timeline
Wednesday, November 11, 2026: City Hall and most municipal offices closed for Veterans Day.

Roadmap
The closure follows the federal Veterans Day holiday designated under 5 U.S.C. § 6103, which the city observes by closing City Hall and most municipal offices. Public safety and essential services continue on their regular footing while non-emergency administrative functions pause for the day.
Residents who need city services on November 11 should use the 3-1-1 line during its listed hours or wait until regular business hours resume on November 12. Downtown parking meters are free that day, but city-operated garages and lots still follow their normal rules.
The takeaway
Plan city business for November 11 around the holiday closure, and note that emergency services remain available throughout the day.
