The Brazos County tax office and lobby will be closed to customers on Thursday.

Tax assessor-collector Kristy Roe says there will be an expanded deep cleaning, sanitizing and disinfecting due to the coronavirus pandemic.

And her employees will be catching up with training modules that they are required to complete but have not had the time due to staffing shortages.

Roe says no employees have been infected, but some have been quarantined due to doctor’s orders after possible or actual exposure and/or being tested.

Roe says employees will be answering phone calls. And she reminds customers to consider using the brazostax.org website and remote locations for some services.

The Brazos County Tax Office will be closed to the public on Thursday, August 13 for an expanded deep cleaning, sanitizing and disinfecting.
