This change comes as a result of budget cuts in the recently presented 2012-13 budget. The Tax Collector's office is eliminating 5 percent of its workforce.
"By reducing the hours of operation, we can help alleviate the impact that this loss of staff will have on our customers," Corrigan said. "Making this change will allow us to continue to serve our customers as quickly and efficiently as possible during the hours that we are open."
In addition, many services are available on the Tax Collector website 24 hours per day. This includes property tax payments, DMV renewals, payment of parking citations and scheduling appointments for certain driver's license services. For more information, visit www.coj.net/tc or call 904-630-1916.
