Due to the current COVID-19 situation Polk County will be streaming the audio of the county budget hearings that are taking place on April 21st and April 22nd at 9:00 a.m.
A secure drop box at the County Courthouse in Dallas is now available for in-person payment of property taxes. The box is located on the north side of the Jefferson Street Courthouse entrance, just before the Clerk's election ballot drop box. We will check it daily and post your payment as of the date you deposited it in the box. If you would like confirmation that we received it, note on the payment that you would like us to mail you a receipt.
On Monday, March 23, 2020 the Polk County Board of Commissioners at a regularly scheduled meeting passed Order 20-08 effectively closing Polk County offices to the general public effective immediately.
In an effort to help reduce the public's exposure to and reduce the spread of Covid19 our agency has decided to cancel all fingerprint services to the general public for the time being unless it is for employment purposes.
This will affect new CHL applicants, CHL applicants transferring in from other counties and people requesting fingerprints for expungments; If you are not certain if this affects you please give us a call before coming in.
Hopefully we will be back to business as usual soon.
