We have assisted many of the Hurlburt Field personnel with their transactions over the years. As their personnel and family numbers have increased significantly during the last few years, we now consider it a wonderful and needed opportunity to deliver our services for DMV and Drivers’ License on base. We also seek the opportunity to provide and conduct County business in this Office. Per Florida Statute 197.332 (2), the Board of County Commissioners approval is needed to conduct county business in this branch office. It is our request that this item be placed on the agenda of the February 5" Board of County Commissioners meeting. Please feel free to contact me with any questions. With kind regards, Benjamm F. Anderson Tax Collector Okaloosa County BAnderson@OkaloosaTax.com 850-651-7617 office 850-689-5300 cell / text The State of Florida created this State Constitutional County Office as a separate and independent government entity to ensure freedom from influence by local or state agencies that have the power to levy taxes, spend tax dollars and assess property.
