The Allen County Treasurer’s Office remains closed to the public at this time due to COVID-19.
According to treasurer Darolyn “Crickett” Maley, the staff continues to process online tax payments and vehicle registration renewals, along with conducting other daily business.
Registration decals will be mailed, and printed receipts are available for tax payments upon request.
It’s possible to make vehicle renewals and pay real estate taxes by following the link at: allencounty.org/treasurer.
New drop boxes have been set up outside the Treasurer’s Office for those interested in depositing forms and payments safely and securely.
Maley added that, as per usual, “of course you can mail any of the [above] payments to our office to be processed.”
When sending payments, please include a phone number and double-check your mailing addresses.
Please call with any questions to 620-365-1409.
Maley apologized for any convenience brought about by the closure, and said she hopes the office will reopen on Dec. 21.
Following COVID-19 cases connected to the Treasurer’s Office, commissioner Bill King said Tuesday he’d received correspondence suggesting the entire courthouse should close, but didn’t think such a measure was necessary.
King did say, however, that he and commissioners had decided to “tighten up a little bit,” including taking extra precautions with cleaning and strategically alternating staff.
It was also implied that visitors to the courthouse should be mindful of the plastic germ-screen guards there, mostly by staying behind them.
Commissioners also decided to offer a grace period to anyone needing to make payments to the Treasurer’s Office.
According to Lisse Regehr, CEO of Thrive Allen County, the county has a little over $40,000 left in CARES Act/SPARK funds yet to be allocated.
Regehr said the applications of seven local businesses are pending.
