Tag offices change how they serve customers at end of month. How could that affect you?

Sedgwick County is changing procedure at its two tag offices to help more people get their tag renewals processed before the end-of-the-month deadline.

“The Sedgwick County Tag Offices will now devote the last three days of each month to handling renewals, refunds, 60-day permits and temporary and permanent disabled placards/plates,” a county release said.

Starting Thursday, that means title work, the transferring of vehicle ownership from one person to another, will be done on a “more limited basis” during the last three days of the month.

“Customers are encouraged to plan ahead and have title work processed earlier in the month. As an added convenience, the Treasurer’s Office also offers online, dropbox and mail payment services,” the release said.

Drivers can start their tag renewal process up to 45 days before the deadline, which is determined by the first letter of your last name. Drivers whose last name begins with “C” and “D” must renew their tags by April 30, but offices are closed over the weekend.
