Of course it did not show up and I reported it several times. Happy to report it showed up the end of April! On a good note, it did show up. I was so worried that the receiver of the letter would think I had not been truthful about sending one but lo and behold the postmark proved it! Whew, better late than never I guess.

Clearly, no one lives inside my mailbox. I will escalate this matter to cooperate. They need to crack down on this. Not even a 1 star is deserved.

One person told me I could get my tag ID for the day and sent me to run some side quest back from the side quest and was told I would have to wait a month only to reach out to my insurance company and in the meantime, the previous employee come back from lunch and take care of me in about 10 or 15 minutes the thing that really said it off is they ask you to give them a survey you give them the survey and they call and they defend themselves and argue with you while you were wrong the entire time this place is absolutely trash your tax dollars at work. I wish I could give y'all zero stars and I will continue to go everywhere I can to let people know how unprofessional rude and un engaged you are in general. They should shut the whole place down.

Hi again. I apologize for the delay in posting reviews here yet it has been busy with all the…read moretraveling that I have been doing. Not too long ago I had the utmost pleasure of visiting the Florida Department of Motor and Highway Safety Office for Charlotte County out of Punta Gorda, Florida. And WOW! Soooo amazing! Truly unbelievable. And, after my first experience, I had to go back; despite it being a bit out of the way. Let me try to synopsize, as best as my recollection permits, all the things I got done there in VERY LITTLE TIME. I think I will have to bullet my commentaries as I have many reviews to write from my trip through Punta Gorda and the surrounding areas including Lee and Sarasota Counties. Real quickly, before I begin, it is OBVIOUS that whomever the Governor is these days in Florida, she/he is doing a GREAT job. Alas, that person's influence may not be as well represented in other Counties....yet, there is always tomorrow to see Government working as efficiently as portrayed in South West Florida. Okay, without belaboring my positive commentaries, here we go; vis-a-vis Charlotte County. I promise to address Lee and Sarasota Counties in subsequent posts. Okay....here we go, for the Tax Assessor's Office, which, unbeknownst to me oversees (I believe, the Department of Motor Vehicles). In my notes below I will also address issues that supplement the actual course of Official Protocols; specifically, the labor employed and the edifices themselves. Okay....lol....without further ado: * The place is SPOTLESS. I am used to picking up trash and garbage yet, here, none was found. I am not sure how they hire so many people to clean things up; but they do. Probably immigrants since they are the backbone of our 3,008 Counties, though I also saw some old ugly white dudes picking up trash as well. Perhaps everyone pulls their share. * The building had AIR CONDITIONING! They spare NO expense to provide services to their community. They also, with no offense, spoke English. Something that I am not used to in Florida. Very intelligent folks as well and I would not be surprised if they speak multiple languages to facilitate the transaction that the residents in their community need. * I got a PRINTOUT of all the vehicles that I had Registered in the State of Florida. The 'transcript' listed Vehicle Make, Vehicle Model, VIN Number, and a multitude of other things which I did not have time to note. I was in a rush. I very quickly filled out some Affidavits regarding vehicles that I was no longer in possession of and Officially 'Surrendered' my plates; thereby eliminating any potential liability issues that might come back to haunt me should those vehicles or plates be involved in any kind of undesired activity. I think I filled out four or five Affidavids....and, the good news is, that I was not charged A DIME for doing so. Nothing. Not quite sure how the County manages to do that considering the very little folks pay in both Sales Tax and Property Tax. Talk about efficient Governing Reagan style. Yum. * I was able to take care of a Motorized Vehicle which had been causing me some issues. I would rather not get into any specific details as, well, The Dealer who sold me the vehicle may be involved in some criminal activity; so, I will not say more. Yet, they handled it. Professionally and expediently. In addition, every 'Agent' or 'Representative' were SO forthcoming with such great answers to questions that have perplexed me for decades. I would not be surprised if The Staff goes through a 6-12 month training period. * I was able to get a new Real Identification Card which is SO beneficial as I have had at least FOUR instances of Identity Theft since 2016. I do not mean or intend to disparage other Counties that I have traversed since my arrival in South Florida in 1997, yet, these folks, are really, the EPIDOMY of how Government can protect their residents (and passers-by like me) (not sure if I spelled EPIDOMY correctly; I am sure that I will be notified if I have not). * Such valuable information pertaining to Electronic Bicycles, Mopeds, Motorcycles, Trailers, Mobile Homes, etc. Next time I go (and I may go out of my way to once again traverse that SPLENDIDLY BEAUTIFUL County), I may inquire about Vessel Registration so that I can once again safely and appropriately travel the Seas (and Gulf I guess). * Not sure how The County did it, yet they partnered with Publix Supermarkets (which is the largest food distribution company in Florida - - and which DONATES millions of their $$'s to provide nutritional foods to those in needs), to enable folks to take care of some of their business from within Publix Supermarkets! How great and convenient is that?? Imagine getting new Tag Authorizations right from the Kiosk as one maneuvers through the splendidly wide aisles filled with food stuffs (granted, perhaps not the CHEAPEST items....yet, that is a review for another day). I have more....yet no more space.

And I confess I love the FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY. I donate and buy many books from the used book stores by the libraries. I just read (from their used book store) the play A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE. I confess I never read it before and it was a fun fast read. Then I found the play on television and watched it. Loved them both.

March. 2025. I find it strange to be writing a review of a police department but our experience of…read morethis morning merits sharing. My husband was driving our Class B RV through Punta Gorda, FL when the police car behind us flashed its lights and pulled us over. This is a highly unusual occurrence for us -- and nothing came to mind as a traffic infraction that my husband might have done. The polite officer asked for his drivers license, registration, and insurance, which he checked in his patrol car and quickly returned to us. It turns out that our new bikes, mounted carefully on a rear rack, obstructed our license plate -- which is a violation in most states. He let us off with a warning -- saving us $114 in what could've been a ticket. We appreciate how polite the officer was, and appreciate that he let us off with a warning. We went immediately to a local Walmart & purchased a kit that allowed us to mount the license plate on the bike rack. We appreciate that the police department is protecting the public safety.
