The Floyd County Tax Commissioner’s Office has resumed full operations as of Monday, March 30, following last week’s fire at the historic courthouse.

In the days after the incident, office staff returned Tuesday morning to a workspace without basic supplies. By the end of that day, several departments had secured desks and chairs and had begun putting a recovery plan in place. By Wednesday, the property tax office was back up and running, and by Thursday afternoon, equipment and inventory for the tag office had been fully restored. That progress allowed for a soft opening of the tag office on Friday.

As of now, the Tax Commissioner’s Office is once again fully open to the public at 5 Government Plaza on the first floor, with four tag office windows and two property tax windows available to serve residents. All phone lines are also back in operation. Office hours remain Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m.

The Floyd County Assessor’s Office is also fully functional. Members of the public are encouraged to check in at the first-floor lobby for assistance. Normal business hours remain in place, and officials are reminding residents that the deadline to apply for a Homestead Exemption is still April 1.

Floyd County Tax Commissioner Kevin Payne praised the county’s response to the disruption, saying the support from county leaders and staff exceeded expectations. He specifically thanked the IT Department, Human Resources, Facilities Management, Finance, Purchasing, the Floyd County Prison, and others who worked to help the offices reopen.

Both offices say they appreciate the public’s patience and support during the recovery and look forward to continuing service to the community.
