The Pennington County Treasurer’s Office is dealing with the ripple effects of the early July cybersecurity incident.

Earlier this week, Pennington County Treasurer Annette Brant said that while auto title transfers were being processed by nine staff, the system used for real estate transactions was causing an issue.

As a result, Brant said the queue, the system helping customers get a place in the virtual line, was not available.

“We don’t have the queue,” she said. “We’ll re-evaluate that once both of our systems are completely up to see whether we’re going to continue that or not. The reason it’s not up is we don’t want people signing in to the queue for real estate and they’re waiting an hour and a half and we can’t help them with real estate.”

Brant said to avoid wait times for anything other than title transfers, customers can use the self-service kiosks at 130 Kansas City Street, the Department of Revenue building behind Lowes, or the driver’s license exam station on Catron Blvd. My605Drive.sd.give is another resource for motor vehicle services.

“All title transfers of newly purchased vehicles for the individual has to be done in the county,” Brant said. “All other transactions have other means that they can process either online with the State of South Dakota or with the self-service terminals.”

The Treasurer’s Office opens at 7 a.m., Monday through Friday, and is fully staffed at 8 a.m. They close at 4 p.m.
