Jan. 10, 2013 – The Hall County Tax Commissioner’s office will now be serving citizens from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. every weekday in an effort to better meet the needs of Hall County residents.

The office was previously open to citizens from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. every weekday.

The change in operating hours coincides with Darla Eden beginning her term in office as tax commissioner for the County.  Eden was elected by Hall County voters last year and replaces Keith Echols, who retired at the end of 2012.

“The slight change in operating hours stems from our desire to mirror the business hours of the departments housed in the Hall County Government Center where we are located,” Eden said. “Staying open later will most definitely give citizens more time and convenience as they conduct business with property and motor vehicle tax transactions. We will continue to evaluate the tax office hours and locations on an ongoing basis to best suit the needs of our citizens.”

The change in operating hours for the public went into effect Wednesday, Eden’s first day in office following the New Year’s holiday.
