You can go on line to obtain your renewed FLA registration And renewed drivers license and the Commissioner is bragging about how he has set up two drive-by lanes to do these very things. Not mentioned when we can accomplish the rest.
I moved here three months ago from out of state. I called the Tax Collector office only to find that they were closed. I was told to keep checking their website for updates on opening. I checked every day for two months. Nothing updated. The website stated they were not taking appointments and remained closed. I called them directly and they told me they have been taking appointments for weeks. They never updated their website which is where I was asked to check. Poor communication but no surprise. Experience at Bushnell was pleasant but they made a mistake on the tags and now I have to wait 90 days to get the plates and then they will correct their mistake and I will need to wait another 90 days to get the correct plates. This is ridiculous and a waste of taxpayer money.
