Stella is wondering what the heck is going on?

03/28/2020

Hi everyone, sorry I haven't posted in awhile. Things are a bit crazy right now. The Treasurer has extended the payment deadline to September 1st with no penalty. Partial payments will be accepted. The ballot drop off box is open for tax payments at the east entrance of the Citizens Service Center. We hope to reopen April 13th. Hope you all are safe and well. Take care!

03/19/2020

All of us in the Treasurer and Public Trustee offices hope everyone is safe and well. We are doing all we can from home to serve our citizens, but access to data is limited. Please rest assured, all deadlines have been postponed/extended without penalty until all of this is over. Take care!
