Services offered by the DeKalb County Clerk’s office are many and often times so are questions about them.
In an effort to better inform the community, County Clerk James L. (Jimmy) Poss is hosting a public forum on Thursday, April 9 at 6 p.m. in the County Complex Multi-Purpose Auditorium.
Representatives of the Tennessee Department of Revenue and Tennessee Highway Patrol will join Poss and his staff in sharing information and answering questions during this forum.
“This is an opportunity to provide some clarification on specific topics and offer insight into the partnership between the local and state level departments in completing daily transactions for the residents of Tennessee,” said Poss.
“Representatives of the Tennessee Department of Revenue’s Vehicle Services Division and Taxpayer Services Division along with the Tennessee Highway Patrol will be at the forum. In fact, the Tennessee Highway Patrol and Vehicle Services Division have collaborated to share a PowerPoint presentation which will mainly focus on specific plates and title and registration, such as, medium speed, commercial and farm plates etc. They will also review the requirements that are mandated with Heavy Vehicle Use Tax and 2290 form. The Taxpayer Services Division will answer questions concerning sales and use tax, business taxes, etc. We truly encourage your attendance as this will be a great opportunity to meet multiple agencies to ask questions or just listen to beneficial information,” said Poss.
“These departments serve individuals as well as businesses. Your county offices and state departments have worked closely to organize and compile important information for this event in an effort to provide you (citizens) with clarification in regards to specific topics or to simply offer an opportunity for you to meet some of the representatives that work in your local and state departments. Please make plans to attend this public forum and share our invitation with friends and family,” Poss concluded.
