COVINGTON, Ga. – Newton County Convenience Center Vehicle Hang Tags will be on sale inside the Newton County Historic Courthouse Monday, June 15.

The tags, required to enter any of the county’s six convenience centers, are valid through June 30, 2021, and cost $155. The current hang tags expire will only be valid through July before the 20-21 tags are required for entry.

The Historic Courthouse is at 1124 Clark St. in Covington. In an effort to prevent the spread of COVID-19, a certain number of people will be allowed inside the courthouse at one time and there will be markings on the floor to keep people six feet apart.

Hang tags can also be purchased via the revamped online system, https://www.co.newton.ga.us/FormCenter/County-Services-9/Residential-User-Access-Program-50. After filling out the online form, a tag will be sent via mail.
