Went in for Limited Income Senior property tax exemption. Came out with a whopping $120 exemption! Obviously, Sarasota County couldn't care less about their limited income seniors! Outrageous

As new residents seeking drivers licenses we could not have been happier with the service. We made an appointment and barely waited to be called to window 9 to be greeted by Susan. She could not have been more welcoming, polite, helpful, patient and efficient. She even advised us to stop in the tax office while there and apply for our homestead exemption which we now also have organized. If you should read this Susan - thank you - you are an exemplary employee and we were very grateful for your incredible assistance!
