LOCAL TAX OFFICE TEMPORARILY CLOSING
Gregg County Precinct 3 taxpayers were advised last week the Justice of the Peace office in Gladewater would be closing soon and people having business with the JP will need to drive to Kilgore.
Now the tax office is closing – but just temporarily.
The last day the JP Pct. 3 office will be open in Gladewater was
Feb. 1. They are expected to open the Kilgore office, located at 622 Kay Street, on Feb. 4.
As a result of the JP’s office relocating to Kilgore, Kirk Shields, Gregg County Tax Assessor-Collector, said “we are temporarily closing our Gladewater office. We are working with the city about using a space in a city building. I think that is where we will end up, but it may be several weeks before we re-open so that remodeling to fit our needs can be completed.”
During this transition, Shields said taxpayers can take advantage of several methods to make property tax payments to his office.
1. By mail: P. O. Box 1431, Longview, Texas 75606
2. By phone: 866-520-5602
3. Online: www.co.gregg.tx.us/propertytaxrecords
4. In person:
* 101 E. Methvin Avenue, Suite 215, Longview
* 3211 West Marshall Avenue, Longview
* 1102 Kilgore Street, Kilgore
Talyna Carlson, Gregg County Justice of the Peace, Pct #3, said the move “will cease the duplication of services and efficiently serve Gregg County citizens.”
