The Palm Beach County Tax Collector's Office in Delray Beach is back open with a reduced staff and with specific COVID-19 era rules that must be followed.
Only Palm Beach County residents with scheduled driver licensed appointments will be admitted into the office.
Tax Collector Anne Gannon says that "in many cases, people need a valid driver license as a condition of employment or to apply for financial assistance.
This service is essential to helping the community and our economy recover from the COVID-19 pandemic.”
You must wear a face mask or cloth face covering and proper social distancing protocols must be followed.
The office will be open Monday through Friday 8:15 a.m. to 4:20 p.m.
For those who are going to the office for an appointment, Gannon asks that you consider the following:
Clients will not be allowed to sit in the lobby to wait for their appointment. For this reason, clients are asked to arrive no more than 15 minutes before their scheduled appointment.
To avoid overcrowding, only the individual with the scheduled appointment will be admitted into the office. Clients are urged not to bring family members or friends to their appointment.
The agency will not supply face masks or hand sanitizer to the public. Clients must wear their own face covering and are strongly urged to bring their own hand sanitizer.
Contactless payment methods such as Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Samsung Pay are encouraged. A contactless payment is made by placing a smartphone or contactless pay-enabled credit or debit card near the payment keypad, rather than swiping or inserting a card.
Gannon says she plans to reopen the other tax collector offices over the next two weeks with limited in-person services.
