They have finally moved! Woohoo! As you can see it's no longer in the "dungeon" thank goodness for this awesome upgrade!

The younger woman in there pissed me off. She is extremely hateful. I could tell by her expression that she thought I was stupid, even though I did not say anything stupid. She needs to be fired.

Everyone I've ever encountered that works at the Bedford County Clerks office has been friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. I much prefer walking in here than going online to pay our county property taxes and get or renew our automobile tags and it was a good day this day of January 6, 2022
