The Monroe County Tax Commissioner’s Office will be closed the remainder of this week (Dec. 28-Jan. 1) due to a staffer testing positive this morning for COVID-19 after close contact with other staffers.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. The Tax Commissioner’s Office is expected to re-open at regular hours on Monday, Jan. 4, 2021.
In the meantime, late fees will be waived for any customer purchasing a car tag with a birthday between Dec. 23 and Jan. 3. Tags for those affected customers will be processed upon the Office’s re-opening. Anyone with a birthday between Dec. 23 and Jan. 3 who receives a citation for having an expired tag can bring their citation to the Tax Commissioner’s Office upon its re-opening. Monroe County Tax Commissioner Lori Andrews will then provide a letter on the customer’s behalf explaining why the expired tag citation should be dropped.
Also, the Monroe County Road Department will be closed all this week (Dec. 28-Jan. 1) due to positive COVID-19 cases in its workforce. However, Road Department employees who were not directly exposed to COVID-19 will remain on call in case of emergency. If you have an immediate need for assistance with the conditions of a county road, please contact the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office at 478-994-7048, and deputies will notify the Road Department Superintendent of the issue. Otherwise, the Monroe County Road Department is expected to re-open at regular hours on Monday, Jan. 4, 2021. Thank you for your cooperation in this important matter.
