Only eight visitors at a time will be allowed within the lobby areas in order to maintain social distancing. Customers are also asked to follow the new signage posted in English and Spanish at the entrance and exits at city hall.

Boyle County Clerk’s office

The Boyle County Clerk’s office will be open beginning Monday, June 1.

Vehicle and vessel transfers are by appointment only, by calling the clerk’s office at (859) 238-1110. 

Vehicle and vessel renewals will be processed on a first come, first serve basis with appointments taking priority.

Renewals can also still be paid by bringing your registration, insurance card and payment to the clerk’s drop-off box located at the Fourth Street entrance to the courthouse; mail in with insurance card; paying over the phone by calling (859) 238-1110; or by using the online portal at www.drive.ky.gov.

The clerk’s office will be issuing marriage licenses and notary certificates by appointment only.

Abstractors, title searchers and attorneys should call prior to arriving to make sure there is adequate space to accommodate them if they don’t have an appointment.

Land document recordings and delinquent tax payments will be taken on a first come first served basis, with appointments taking priority.

Appointments can be made by calling (859) 238-1112.

When entering the courthouse, notify the security guards if you have an appointment, or are there to record a deed, mortgage, will or other documents. Customers are asked to wear a mask and use the provided hand sanitizer that will be available prior to entering the office, and take their place in lines in the socially distanced marked areas.

Absentee voting at the courthouse will begin Monday, June 8 from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Tuesday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Absentee voting can also be scheduled on Saturday June 13 and June 20 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

If you choose to vote on Election Day instead of by mail or absentee voting, there will only be two polling places open — Boyle County Fire Department Station 1 on Lebanon Road; and First Christian Church on Lexington Road. All ballots will not be precinct specific so voters can vote at either location.

Masks and hand sanitizer will be available, and places will be marked for people standing in lines, which are expected to be long.

County Clerk Trille Bottom wrote in an announcement, “Please understand that our normal procedures have changed drastically and we will work diligently to process your paperwork in a quick, efficient and polite manner. Your patience and understanding while in our office will be greatly appreciated.”
