Tag renewal is just a click away. The Washington County Clerk's office registered more than 100,400 vehicles and titled more than 70,300 in FY23. The office is a busy place, but instead of visiting us at 100 East Main Street in Jonesborough at the Courthouse, or in our north Johnson City office at 378 Marketplace Boulevard, Suite 1 (just off Knob Creek Road near its intersection with North State of Franklin Road - next to Lifestyle Fitness Center), you can renew your vehicle tags, or a disabled vehicle placard, online.

Duplicate titles can be obtained same day at the Historic Courthouse in Downtown Jonesborough.
