To ensure staff have adequate time to assist each visitor before the end of the business day, the last customer will be accepted at 5:45 p.m.

Residents should note the following:

• Mobile Home Installation Permits (MHIP) will continue to be processed from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday because the process requires coordination with other County departments whose operating hours have not changed.
• Claim of Exemption and Subdivisions recording services are available by appointment only.
