We have new computers, forms and mailers! Your license renewal will not look the same as it did in previous years. Please call us or stop in with any questions or concerns. We are expecting there may be mistakes as there will be with any major computer upgrade, but we will do our best to handle the problems as they come. Please be patient with our staff while we work through all the bugs!
