Smith County Tax Office Remains Closed to Public

TYLER — More than a week ago, the Smith County Tax Office closed their doors to the public due to the coronavirus. On Wednesday, Gary Barber told KTBB, “people continue to show up. We are still seeing between 100 to 200 people coming up to the doors to try to renew their auto registration or to pay their property taxes in person.” The Tax Assessor-Collector continued, “We are just trying to keep people and our employees safe, but we are still working, answering the phones and mail. People can pay their property taxes over the phone, online or through mail. People can renew their auto registration online or through the mail.”
