PLEASE EXCUSE THE MESS AS WE ARE GETTING NEW FLOORING THROUGHOUT THE COURTHOUSE.
To protect our customers and get this work finished as soon as possible, the Barber County Treasurer’s office will be closed to the Public Thursday, March 12. They will be removing the carpet and grinding tile and glue. We will have no access to phones, computers or State printers. We hope to have limited computers online by Friday at some point. There will be no access to Drivers License Thursday or Friday. We suggest you call Friday before coming in to confirm we are back online. I apologize for the inconvenience this may cause.
