"As one of three tax offices serving DeKalb County, this new space will improve our ability to serve taxpayers safely and efficiently,” said DeKalb County Tax Commissioner Irvin J. Johnson in a news release. “The upgrade will alleviate service delivery challenges due to the economic development and growth that has taken place in the area since 1998. Now with additional parking, service windows and lobby seating, it will be a better overall experience for taxpayers and staff, especially as we continue to operate in this ongoing pandemic.”
Expanding to nearly 5,400 square feet, the newly constructed office is an upgrade from the previous space of 1,200-square-feet, according to the release. Parking capacity has doubled to 60 spaces for customers and employees, and service windows now include 10 stations to better serve property tax and motor vehicle customers.

Construction began in early April 2021 with the support of the DeKalb County CEO and Board of Commissioners. The county already owned the property.
“No capital outlay requiring tax dollars were used in funding the project,” according to the release.
The new office will operate from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on weekdays. For more information, visit dekalbtax.org.
