This day-long seminar has been approved by the Division of Motorist Services and can be used to fulfill the requirements of continuing education for independent dealers. And, this seminar is endorsed by the Florida Tax Collectors Services Corporation. A representative of the local tax collector's office will be onsite to answer questions.
