The Jackson County Treasurer's Office is now open to the public Monday-Friday 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The Driver's License Station is open by appointment only. 

On May 26, Governor Reynolds announced the temporary suspension of penalties and interest for delayed property tax payments until June 26, 2020. Taxes will still be marked delinquent if they are not paid by March 31, but late interest and penalty on property tax payments will NOT apply until June 26th. You may pay online, via mail, via phone, in person or at the drop box located outside the east entrance of the courthouse. 

Motor vehicle registration renewal payments can be made online, via mail, via phone, in person or at the drop box. 

If your motor vehicle registration expired January 31, 2020 or later, you may choose to renew your registration later per the proclamation issued by Governor Reynolds. You may also choose to process title transfers at a later date per the proclamation. However, we are happy to assist you with the required paperwork for title transfers now over the phone and in person at the counter.
