UG Treasury office will reopen for limited in-person service on Monday, June 8

The Unified Government Treasury office will reopen for limited in-person service on Monday, June 8.

According to a UG spokesman, for all motor vehicle work not related to titles, the public still is required to continue to use online, drop-off or mail-in options only.

On Monday, June 8, the annex office at 8200 State Ave., Kansas City, Kansas, will be open exclusively for motor vehicle title work, the spokesman stated. Those who use this option to complete title work will be required to have a spot in the online queue prior to arriving at the annex location.

They will receive an estimated time to be served through a text message notification, and individuals will not be allowed in the building until the number is about to be called, according to the spokesman. Residents may reserve a spot in line by visiting wycokck.org/auto.

The downtown office at 710 N. 7th St., Suite 240, Kansas City, Kansas, will be open to the public exclusively for the real estate, personal property, and treasury services on June 8.

“While the offices will be reopening, the need for social distancing still limits the services that can be provided in our facilities. We are happy to be able to once again welcome the public into our offices. However, we will be limited to the number of individuals that can enter the facility,” said Richard Mikesic, treasurer. “In addition, the pandemic closure created a monumental backlog of work. I believe there are approximately 15,000 people that have been waiting for our doors to open. If you choose to come into the office for your title work needs, you should be prepared for significant wait times due to the overwhelming demand. We continue to urge individuals to first choose the various online, drop off, or mail-in options for all their motor vehicle, real estate tax, and personal property tax payment needs.”

In addition, the Treasury also announced an upgrade to the PayIt/iKan services which allows late renewals to be processed through both systems.

This process, which is already active, allows for registration renewal transactions without calculating any penalties or interest on renewals that fall under Kansas Governor Laura Kelly’s Executive Order temporarily suspending penalties and interest for late renewals.

The governor has issued an order providing a grace period for renewals and title work completion on vehicles purchased in 2020. The grace period extends 60 days from the date the State of Disaster Emergency is lifted, which has yet to occur. Residents will have some time to get their motor vehicle needs met prior to the expiration of the grace period.

“Please know, we have a dedicated staff that only want to help you complete the service you need. We know it is a trying situation for all, so we appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to serve you,” Mikesic said.
