CAR TAGS

I have lived in Ft. Myers for  46 years. You would think I would know the ins and outs of Florida fees. I got my notice for renewing my tags. Normally I send in a check with no charges except for the tags. I am not a computer expert but was happy to see could take the option  to pay by computer.t  Surprise! And it was not a pleasant one.

I didn't read the fine print (too trustworthy) BIG MISTAKE. No specific fees were mentioned or other added fees. It cost twice as much if I went and payed in person. The fees were phenomenal and shocked me. I was upset for a while but chalked it up to a bad experience.  I learned not ever to do that again. I am a senior citizen and the fees should have

been in the application.
