The Department of Public Works has suspended in-person sales of 2020 residential Hang Tags and is
only processing Hang Tag sales through the mail due to COVID-19. As a result of mail only sales,
Allegany County Department of Public Works experienced a temporary lag in processing new
applications and had extended the authorized use of 2019 Hang Tags until the department could get
caught up.
The department has worked through the lag and is now giving official notice to the public that
starting Saturday the 23rd of May 2020 the Department of Public Works will be enforcing tags as
normal. Beginning on May 23rd, expired 2019 Hang Tags will no longer be accepted. If you have
submitted your 2020 residential Hang Tag application and have not yet received it, it is currently
being processed and will be mailed to you before the enforcement date begins.
If you have not yet submitted your 2020 residential Hang Tag application, please do so. Please note
that current processing time is 6-8 business days from when the application is received to when it is
mailed back out.
Applications are available online and can be found by visiting https://www.alleganyco.com. Click on
the Government tab, click on Public Works and then click on Solid Waste and Recycling. There you
