Very efficient, usually you have to wait a couple hours at least good job escambia county
“I wonder why there were no lines?”
Well, they helped 500 people in a few hours. So there are no lines because of appointments, great planning and a very efficient staff. A job well done.
I wonder why there were no lines?
I got mine yesterday also. It went unbelievably quick. No lines, got the tags and out the door in about 20 minutes. Great job and thanks for being able to do this. Most of the time these days, everything is screwed up and you wait for hours.
It’s nice to live in Florida and Escambia County.
Picked up my Blue Angels tag and with the appointments made it mighty easy.
Thank you, Scott Lunsford for ALL your staff and you do for We the People…
