MISSOULA — The Missoula County Clerk and Treasurer's Office will not be processing vehicle transactions between March 13 and March 16.
The office is rolling out a new system on Monday, March 17, along with the Montana Motor Vehicle Division.
All MVD stations will also be closed from March 13 through March 17 in preparation for the launch.
The Treasurer's Office says the new system will offer more online services, electronic payment options and faster turnaround times for vehicle transactions.
“Although we recognize the inconvenience this closure will cause to our community, we are excited for the increased efficiency of the new CARS program,” Missoula County Clerk and Treasurer Tyler Gernant said. “We know this system will ultimately help our customers have a better experience when visiting our office or accessing our services online. A lot of work has gone into the new system, and we are thrilled to finally be able to put it to work for residents.”
Missoula County will continue to accept tax payments, issue birth and death certificates, and provide recording services during that time.
The system is the final phase of MVD’s credentialing and registration system which is a multi-year project aimed at improving customer service and efficiency.
