Walker County Tax Commissioner’s Rock Spring Office Closing Temporarily For Repairs

The Walker County Tax Commissioner’s office in Rock Spring will close to the public beginning Monday, August 24th, as renovation and repair work continues at the Local Government Services building.

The building, located at 122 Highway 95, sustained substantial water damage in April after a pipe burst overnight, flooding several offices and public areas.

A restoration team began work earlier this month, starting on the second floor, where the Walker County Assessor’s office is located. Work on that portion of the building is not expected to be completed until after Labor Day.

The Tax Commissioner’s office handles tax payments for land, homes and personal property, along with vehicle tag and title services.

While the Rock Spring office is closed, most Tax Commissioner staff will relocate to the Rossville office at 2012 McFarland Gap Road. Additional service windows will be available there for the public. The Rossville office is open Monday through Friday from 8 AM until 5 PM, and a night drop is also available.

Officials say operations at the Planning and Zoning department, which is also located inside the Local Government Services building, are not expected to be disrupted.

The building is insured.
