County Clerk Knowles Turns In $868,300 In Excess Fees

  • Thursday, September 7, 2017

County Clerk Bill Knowles announced that the Clerk’s office is remitting $868,300 in excess fees to Hamilton County’s general government.

Mr. Knowles said, “Much of this excess was earned through additional work the Clerk’s office assumed voluntarily to assist taxpayers by contracting with the Tennessee Department of Revenue, the Tennessee Department of Safety, and the city of Chattanooga. It’s a challenge taking on added responsibilities to help taxpayers, including making Chattanooga’s $5 sticker available when motorists renew a state vehicle registration, printing duplicate motor vehicle titles ‘while you wait’, renewing a state driver’s license at the Courthouse office, and processing large fleet orders for the transportation industry.

I consider these functions an extra dimension of service that enables our office to contribute to the General government. I commend my dedicated office team for their diligent work. We strive each day to serve mounting numbers of busy citizens needing County Clerk services.”
