Mail delays & the Hall tax commissioner office

Hall County Tax Commissioner Darla Eden said Monday mail delays are still impacting her office and the people using it.

Eden reissued a June news release in which she urged people to apply early for license plates, car titles and registrations.

Barring pressing circumstances, such as residents planning to travel out of state, the Tax Office requests that customers wait a full 30 days to receive their items before reporting them lost or requesting a replacement.

Residents currently waiting for their documents or license plates to arrive are encouraged to
carry any relevant receipts, bills of sale, or expired registration cards with them. Individuals
using Georgia Drives e-Services or the local Tax Office call center to complete their registration
renewals may request an electronic receipt emailed to them as proof of compliance until their
registration arrives.

“We are committed to working with our residents, law enforcement, and the postal system to
ensure compliance with annual registration requirements during this unusual delay,” Eden said. “We appreciate your patience and cooperation as we navigate this situation.”

The USPS delays first came to light in late February when the Tax Office, noticing a spike in late
payments and applications by mail.
