Some county offices to close April 15-17

Many Collin county offices will move from their current offices near downtown McKinney to the new Jack Hatchell Collin County Administration Building in mid-April. This will call for a few days where you may not be able to do business in person at certain offices during this time.

For most folks, this short closing could affect those looking to go to the County Clerk (for land deeds, marriage licenses, vital records, business filings), and getting license plates for your cars and trucks at the Tax Assessor & Collector.

Here’s a list of departments that are moving, when they will close and when they re-open for business at 2300 Bloomdale Road -- at the corner of Community Drive and Bloomdale Road.

• County Clerk: Closing at noon on April 15, and re-opening on Monday morning, April 20. To obtain a Certified Copy of a Birth Certificate or Death Certificate or to obtain a Marriage License during this time you may visit our Plano office located at 900 E. Park, Suite 140C.
• Tax Assessor & Collector: Closing April 16 and 17, and re-opening Monday April 20. This office will be shutting down its operations at the county building on University Drive. The Tax Assessor’s Plano and Frisco offices are not moving and will be open on those days.
• Justice of Peace, Precinct 1 (McKinney): Closing April 13 and not re-opening until Monday, May 4. Not only is the office packing up and moving its operations to a new building, but the staff will be training and setting up a new computerized court management system at the same time. All cases in Justice Court with deadlines falling between the dates mentioned above will automatically be extended until May 4.
• Constable, Precinct 1 (McKinney): Closing at noon on April 16, and re-opening on Monday, April 20.
• Commissioners Court, Administrative Services, Budget & Finance, Human Resources, Teen Court & County Auditor: Will be closed April 15 through 17, re-opening on Monday, April 20.

Other departments, such as our Information Technology, Purchasing, Telecommunications, Web Development and GIS/Rural Addressing sections, have already moved. The county’s Engineering, Development Services, Health Care Services, Fire Marshal, WIC offices, Records, Parks & Open Space, and the Texas Cooperative Extension will remain at their current offices 825 N. McDonald St.

Also, the county will hold an open house on April 27, from 5-6:30 p.m., followed by the first Commissioners court meeting in the four-story building.
