Beach vehicle permit ordinance changes

[Elephant Child]

I don't know exactly what is going on - the tax collector's office has always seemed to work pretty well and has been helpful whenever I asked them anything.

Just want to be able to have a permit the next year too, if I win the lottery and get a beach 4x4.

(Which has a tiny chance of happening in the next couple years as Mama Scooterbug is trying to talk Papa Scooterbug into letting me have his old truck when he gets a new one.)

In order to apply for the lottery you have to have a 4 X 4...not might get one in I win, or I'll get one in the future...they are going to need proof of ownership before you can put your name in the hat.

Wouldn't it make sense for the Sheriff's office to issue the permits since they are the ones policing it?

Nothing personal against Cory, but the recent spike in the cost of my tags has re-inforced my attitude that the tax collecting business is a racket to fill the pockets of unproductive consumers at the expense of productive producers! As evidence, I point to the Tax collector scandal last year in Okaloosa county. Please read the part about the yearly bonus plan....some got 25k, some 15k and some only got a miniscul 5k! Seems a little excessive to me! Conventions at Orlando and the San Destin Hilton! Where did this money come from? I believe the previous posts detail the source. (the taxpayers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
ok, I'll step down off my soapbox....just makes me mad!

I believe we are talking about the Walton County Tax Collector, not the Okaloosa County Tax Collector. And apparently you think that a semiannual conference to hold classes and discuss the MANY law changes affecting Tax Collectors (and Clerks of Court have these too) statewide is somehow extravagant. Trust me, they don't drive a party bus to these things. And no, I do not work for the Tax Collector. :roll: Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.

And in reference to the permits, it seems my words are coming back to haunt me. Just be nice when y'all come in...
