IMPORTANT NOTICE

May 18, 2010

TO:                  Tax Collectors and License Plate Agencies

FROM:            Carl A. Ford, Director

                        Division of Motor Vehicles

SUBJECT:      Inventory Allocation

                        In January of this year we reduced the inventory reorder points for license plates from 4 months to 2 ½ months due to budgetary constraints.  We are pleased to report that soon the department will be restoring the 4-month inventory reorder points.  Within the next few weeks, your agencies will begin receiving additional license plate inventory to restore to these levels.

We sincerely appreciate your assistance and cooperation during this challenging period.  If you have any questions, please contact Palmer Brand at (850) 617-3001.
