I had lost my wallet at home and was trying to get everything taken care of. She explained the newer document rules to prove identity, such as needing things like a birth certificate, and she was very helpful and polite. A friend who was with me asked if there was anything else that might work, such as an old driver's license, and Toni kindly checked and let us know that would help. I came back with it and was able to get my replacement license. Later, she even stopped by and kindly asked if I got my license. I told her yes, and that she was a really nice lady. I appreciated her kindness and helpful attitude very much. God bless! Mark H. Elders

I am elated to be here for them as they've been there for me in ways that I could never repay them for (has nothing to do with the review I know) I do dislike that all of the ministers here refuse to marry same sex couples here. I know it's their personal choice but it's disheartening all the same. Only one does and he's here only on Friday's and not all day and they refused to give us his information so we had to find someone. Thank God that the pastor that was due to marry me in July was available short notice. The testars is for the discrimination we felt being here today. Either way what we came for was accomplished and my besties got married.

I had to visit the office to pay for a reserved personalized plate I had ordered online. One thing…read moreto know is that once you reserve a personalized plate online, you have five business days to go into the office and pay the associated fee. Otherwise, the plate will no longer be held for you. Something helpful I learned from the dealership where I purchased my car is that if you have a vehicle that was declared a total loss, you can bring the declaration letter along with the necessary documentation and receive a credit toward the registration and tag for your new vehicle. In my case, I received about a $40 credit, which was a nice surprise. The office was fairly busy when I arrived, but the line was moving steadily and efficiently. I was assisted by a pleasant young lady named Jazmine, who was incredibly patient as I gathered and provided all of the documents needed. Her calm attitude and kind service helped lower my stress level quite a bit, and I was truly grateful for her help.

I've visited the Revenue office, property tax office and driver's license office and not a smile, courtesy or personable customer service throughout any of these spaces.

I made the smart decision to visit the tax assessors office the day before Thanksgiving.

She handed me a slip of paper that had only a URL on it and said "follow the directions." Following the directions was how I ended up where I had to begin with.
