Not a fan of Going through Metal detectors to do business with government offices, pay property taxes or see non court offices

Pretty accessible courthouse. Many of the county offices are located here so it beats running around town. Location could use a FAQ Board for common issues (Where do I pay my taxes? Where do I vote? etc) Courthouse also has a new security protocol so only one entrance is open to the public and metal detectors are in use; so leave your sharp objects in the vehicles.

Came in at 405 PM on a Friday for title transfer when they are listed as open until 430 and told they are finished for the day. Took half a day off work and drove an hour to get it taken care of. And they aren't open again until Tuesday. Stopping services 25 minutes before your posted closing time when you are closed the next three days seems excessive or perhaps hours need to represent the actual times they take business.
