WEST PALM BEACH - Anne M. Gannon, Palm Beach County Tax Collector, announces new office hours effective July 7, 2007. All locations will open for business at 8:15 a.m. and close at 5:00 p.m. The Tax Collector's Mobile Unit will open at 9:30 a.m. and close at 3:00 p.m. while maintaining its current locations.

"This new schedule will not only make our branch hours more consistent," said Anne Gannon, "it will help serve more customers daily as people prefer to do business early in the morning as opposed to evenings. We've done the customer counts and there is no doubt this change will benefit the citizens of Palm Beach County."

The Palm Beach County Tax Collector maintains offices in Downtown West Palm Beach, Lake Worth, Delray Beach, North Palm Beach, Royal Palm Beach and Belle Glade as well as a mobile unit. Citizens may also do business on the website at www.pbcgov.com/tax. For more information, please call (561) 355-2804.
