The Warren County Treasurer’s Office is currently serving residents via appointment only, and plans to continue to do so in the future. Warren County Treasurer Julie Dougherty tells KNIA News currently with appointments 162 customers are served each day from six windows, and it has made things easier for both residents and staff.

“I feel like customers would rather know what day they are coming, what time they are coming, they are going to be here for 15 minutes and then they go. Rather than I have to go take a day off of work to go stand in line at the DMV. It’s something I’ve always wanted to do, but it was impossible to change when everyone could come in. We got rid of the long lines, Friday’s always had long lines, property tax time meant long lines, and driver’s licenses were always long lines.”

Dougherty also says the feedback from residents has been positive, with survey’s showing over 70% of people would rather have an appointment than not.
