We've been here twice now, one to apply for a marriage license, and second time to pick up a copy of our marriage license. Both times we were here, they were nothing but friendly, fast, and efficient. Thank you!! Both times there was no wait which was nice, and plenty of parking outside. Probably won't have to be back anytime soon, so thank you for your services!

I had an absolutely amazing experience here. The staff in the Clerk's Office were exceptional. Every time I called, they answered within 1 ring. They were very informative and always ensured I had all of my questions answered. My paperwork, I was told by a judge, wouldn't be ready for copies for about a week. They were ready the next day. BTW, I believe the review below is for a different place, there are no officers in this building.

Wow, just wow. I called to ask about opening a business and was met with nothing but rudeness and hostility. I asked a question, and instead of being given the answer, I was given a lecture about something completely unrelated. I even told the lady just how helpful she was being, thinking she would change her attitude, but she didn't. Absolutely appalled that a government office feels it is ok to treat their community members and future entrepreneurs in such a manner. **UPDATE** Go figure, my paperwork was not filled in by them correctly, then resent to the newspaper with the incorrect address (was nothing close to my address). Now I have to wait another three weeks for the notice to run. I get it, humans make mistakes, but when it costs a business money, that isn't right.

My experience at this polling location did not feel progressive toward the LGBTQ community.
