Be sure to check your statements to make sure that you have received one for each property that you own and also that all your credits, such as homestead and military, have been applied. If you should receive a statement for a property that you no longer own, please return it to us so that we can check into it and get it mailed to the correct owner. Each statement will have two stubs attached at the top. Be sure to return the correct stub with each payment. As the start of school begins, students will be wanting to obtain Minor School Licenses. To be eligible, the minor child needs to have held an instruction permit for 6 months with no violations and completed drivers education. You will need to get an application filled out by the school verifying they attend school there and that they live at least one mile from the school before coming into our office.
