The Union County Treasurer’s office will be closed on Friday, February 14th and on Monday, February 17th in preparation for the new statewide motor vehicle system implementation. We will open at 8:30 on Tuesday February 18th. The state’s online renewal system and the self-serve kiosks across the state will be shut down on Friday, February 7th. Any motor vehicle transactions received in the mail the week of February 9th will not be processed until we are active in the new system the following week. Please plan accordingly if you have transactions you need to complete that week! We expect there will be delays in processing with the new system resulting in lines at our office, so we ask for your patience as we make this transition.
The Union County Courthouse will be closed Monday, February 17th for President’s Day.
