Treasurer's office not typical government service

Posted

A recent visit to the Washington County Treasurer's Office proved it's one of the best in the state.

While the treasurer's office is likely one of the busiest in the courthouse, no one likes to visit there, particularly if you're paying taxes. Registering a new vehicle also can be difficult and confusing.

But the staff in the treasurer's office are right there with the answers.

So often, in much larger cities and counties, the workers at the treasurer's office or DMV don't seem to care. Customers are often treated just like the number they take to be served.

Not in Washington County.

As customers walk in the door, the workers are very attentive, making sure they're meeting all their needs. They are polite and provide excellent customer service.

Kudos to Marjorie Hoier and her staff for taking pride in their work and treating Washington County residents right.

Next week, is likely to be one of the busiest at the treasurer's office as residents pay their second half taxes. Be patient, but let those hard workers know you appreciate them.
