MIAMI, Florida – The Miami-Dade County Tax Collector’s Office announced that it has uncovered a network of appointment scalpers profiting from driver’s license appointments.

Driving schools have been hoarding free appointments and reselling them for a profit, creating false demand and barriers for residents in need of essential services.

“We know who they are, and how they operate. We will not accept any appointment obtained through system abuse,” said Miami-Dade County Tax Collector Dariel Fernandez. “Our office is committed to ensuring that all residents have fair and equal access to services without interference from those seeking to exploit the system.”

The Tax Collector’s Office stated in a release that it will work closely with Miami-Dade County officials and law enforcement to put an end to the practice.

“Our website is easier to use than ever. Book your visit directly through the Office of the Tax Collector,” the release noted. “Residents should not pay an unregulated third-party for what should be a free appointment.”
