Saline County South Tag Office closing permanently

WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) — Saline County announced Wednesday in a press release that the South Tag Office will permanently close on June 7.

The news release says the decision comes after consideration of the financial operations governing the facility. Saline County said the closure will not result in the loss of employment for any staff member.

The tag office operates as an agent for the Kansas Department of Revenue and relies solely on the income generated through renewals and title fees.

“These fees have not been increased in the last 17 years, making it increasingly difficult to sustain the operational costs of the office,” the news release said.

While services at the South Tag Office will no longer be available after June 7, Saline County residents can continue to access all necessary services at the City-County Building.

Residents are encouraged to utilize the No Wait Inside online scheduler or to process tag renewals and payments online . Renewals are mailed out 45 days before their due date. There will also be no additional fee for mailing renewals.

“I know that the closure of the satellite office may be an inconvenience,” said Saline County Treasurer Jim DuBois. “I encourage residents to reach out to our state legislature with any concerns.”
