      Schedule an Appointment

    Due to the number of applicants and licensees, and that there are only 2 staff members in the office, we are asking that you schedule an appointment with us so that we can give you sufficient time and our full attention. 

    If you are dropping off paperwork, no problem, just come on in!  But, if you would like to discuss your file, an issue, a complaint, etc., please call or e-mail the office.  We will be glad to schedule you an appointment.
