The Marion County Commissioners have announced that the Marion County Building will start closing at 12:30pm on Fridays beginning the first of the year. The early closing will mean that all offices in the building will be in accessible to residents.

The early closing will not affect the Bureau of Motor Vehicles or the title office which are not controlled by the Commissions.

The early closing comes the same week that three offices in the County Building announced they would be reducing hours due to budget cuts.

The Marion County Treasurer's Office will be open from 9:00am to 4:00pm Monday thru Thursday. Both the Marion County Auditor’s Office and Marion County Recorder’s Office will be open from 8:30am to 4:30pm Monday thru Thursday.

Officials say the reduced hours will help keep services running, but will result in reduced hours and pay for employees.
