Each office’s front desk staff will serve a maximum of three customers at one time. Other visitors will be asked to wait outside until contacted.

Permittees or interested parties requiring appointments with specialists are exempt from this limitation.
To protect the public and staff, all individuals will be required to sign in, thereby certifying that they are symptom free and will wear a mask or meet CDC guidelines excluding them from wearing one. Ink pens will be available at the front counters for public use, as will masks, gloves, and disinfecting cleaner.
