I have never met a more rude and helpless officer. I called ahead and the voicemail said walk-ins welcome when I went to the officer to say I am a walk in he said that didn't work. . He didn't want to accommodate any walks in that day even though I was a walk in the week prior with no problem. The officer told me I could leave and make an appointment. Not sure what the point of him getting paid if he can't answer questions or be helpful. Clearly he hates his job but not a good representative for the county tax office. I wouldn't recommend going their unless you don't have to deal with the useless security officer!!

I have been getting the run around trying to get plates for my car....I purchased the vehicle from a auto shop in Louisiana why is this happening

Pam Hayes | Nov 5, 2020
Mahid Aulakh | Nov 5, 2020

I ordered special plates on 6/4/20 and have received any updates as of now. No email or phone call. The receipt said that they would be delivered to Preston St Tax Office in downtown so we went there 3-4 weeks after. We were met by a security guard saying nobody was working the front desk and that I had to call a number or email them inquiring about the plates. I've sent several emails but no response. None of their numbers have an actual human behind them. If only they could clarify how they are going to deliver me my plates...

I got the answer. So to renew at location you need renewal notice, insurance n inspection, If you don't have renewal notice, you can provide your identification number on vehicle and insurance or license plate number n insurance
