the Saline County Tag Office, located at 300 W. Ash Room 210, will adjust its operating hours, beginning the first week of September. The new hours will be from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, Monday through Friday.
According to Saline County, the decision was made to provide better service to their customers. It was also made after evaluating the cost-effectiveness of extended hours implemented in the past year.
“After being open additional hours this past 13 months, we have observed our customers are overwhelmingly utilizing services during traditional business hours,” Saline County Treasurer Anthony Newell said. “I think it's important to have staff in the office when our customers expect us. Shifting our workforce to provide better service just makes sense."
There will not be a reduction of staff as a result of this change.
Residents seeking vehicle registration services can still utilize other convenient options to avoid potential wait times at the office.

"We've asked the state legislature for the last eight years to revisit the current fee structure,” Newell said. “The Saline County Tag Office acts as an agent for the Kansas Department of Revenue, and relies solely on the income generated through renewals and title fees. The fee structure has not been changed by the State of Kansas in 18 years, making it increasingly difficult to sustain the operational costs of the office. The decision was made after careful consideration of the facility's financial operations.”
Because the tag renewal process is governed by state law, concerns should be directed to your state representative. Let them know how this impacts you and share your feedback directly.
