Very rude customer service! Asked a question and she kept saying it’s all on the website would not speak to me at all! Not doing their job!

That lady Shirley is so rude. Super dismissive and cut me off while I was asking questions about getting a marriage license.

The absolute worst customer service. Trying to get information about anything is like pulling teeth. Just kept saying “go to the website”. Well the Website did NOT have the information we needed. We could not even ask a question without being stopped and told to “go to the website”. It’s like we were bothering them to call the office and ask them to do their job. Just wanted to end the call by shutting us down by telling us to “go to the website”. I would never suggest moving to, hosting any event, vacationing, visiting or even traveling through a county where the county employees are so incredibly rude. Wish I could give 0 stars
