Union County Assessment Office Closed Feb. 11 for Staff Training

The Union County Assessment Office announced it will be closed Wednesday, February 11, 2026, for staff training; residents should plan around a temporary interruption to in-person assessment services." The closure affects in-person assessment appointments and walk-in services for the day and may require residents to reschedule visits for certified records or appeals.

County officials issued only a brief notice that did not specify where the closure was posted, leaving the exact jurisdictional ties unclear. Local schedules from county event listings show multiple Union County government activities the week of Feb. 11, including a Conservation District meeting on Feb. 11 from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., an all-offices holiday closure listed for Feb. 16, and a Commissioner's Public Work Session set for Feb. 17 from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at the UC Government Center, 155 N 15th St., Lewisburg, PA 17837. Those schedules include a webinar viewing link with Webinar ID 885 6832 2325, Passcode 631012, and audio dial-in +1 646 876 9923. For the commissioners meeting, the county instructs: "Advance verbal, written, or electronic requests for public comment must be made prior to the start of the meeting. Please notify the Executive Administrative Assistant at swerner@unionco.org or 570-524-3894 if you wish to make a public comment or to be added to the Agenda. You must request to be added to the agenda, no later than the Wednesday prior to the meeting." The notice also emphasizes: "Please note that you are required to attend in person if you wish to participate in the meeting."

Residents who need parcel information or certified copies of property records should note two practical points from county appraisal guidance. Much parcel data is available through the office's GIS/property search tool, which "shows maps, ownership data, and valuation history." However, "for official copies of property records, you may need to visit the Union County assessor office location in person. This ensures you get certified documents quickly." The property appraiser guidance lists a main office phone for parcel search help as 386-496-3711; the public should verify that number applies to the specific county office they intend to contact.

The closure comes during a period when county calendars show several business interruptions; the appraisal office guidance also underscores that "the Union County Property Appraiser’s office observes state and federal holidays, during which all physical offices and phone lines are closed" and urges planning around strict deadlines such as the March 1st exemption deadline or appeal periods.

What this means for readers: confirm which Union County office issued the training closure, check whether phone or online services remain available, and avoid last-minute trips for certified documents. For calendar or public comment questions tied to the county offices in Lewisburg, contact the Executive Administrative Assistant at swerner@unionco.org or 570-524-3894. For parcel-search assistance, call the main office number listed for the appraisal service, 386-496-3711. Reporters and residents should seek confirmation from county communications about any deadline extensions or service impacts beyond in-person interruptions.
