The Lackawanna County Commissioners have announced that the Single Tax Office is being moved to an easily accessible location on the first floor of the Lackawanna County Department of Health and Human Services building on 315 Franklin Ave., Scranton. 

The Commissioners felt strongly that the Government Center did not serve the public very well.  They have rectified the situation with the move to the Department of Health & Human Services building.  The new site will offer residents plenty of free parking and options for paying their Lackawanna County, Scranton City and Scranton School District taxes. 

Taxpayers can walk into the office to make payments at the in-office cashier bays.  In addition, the drive-through window from the former Penn Federal Credit Union will be operational as well.  

According to Single Tax Collector Cathy Wechsler, the move was scheduled to happen over a two-week period from Monday, Nov. 20, through Monday, Dec. 4. 

Throughout the move, residents also have the option of paying their taxes using the drop box in the vestibule of the Government Center or online at https://scrantontaxoffice.org/make-a-payment/ .
