Supervisor Greg Cox and County Assessor/Recorder/Clerk, Gregory J. Smith, announced today that the Chula Vista branch office will relocate from the current site at 344 F Street to the corner of Third Avenue and I Street at the South Bay Regional Center in Chula Vista by the end of May. This move out of leased space into a larger County-owned facility will provide better service to the South Bay residents and allow document recording in the South Bay for the first time.

Now, residents living south of Interstate 54 have improved access to document recording and other key County services close to home, said Supervisor Greg Cox. I am certain that South County residents will appreciate the first class service offered by our Assessor/Recorder/County Clerk.

County Assessor Gregory Smith agrees, My priority has always been customer service. My goal is to serve the public in a fast, efficient, and professional manner. Smith went on to say, This is a full service branch office offering Assessor, Recorder, and County Clerk services as well as the Tax Collector, including:

The new location for the County Assessor/Recorder/Clerk's office is 590 Third Avenue, Chula Vista, CA 91910. The hours are 8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, and the phone number is (619) 498-2200.
