- requires a correction to the description on the title.
The Clerk’s Office will be performing VIN Verifications from 8:00 am to 11:00 am Monday through Friday. There will be designated parking behind the courthouse. Due to safety concerns VIN Verifications will not be performed in front of the courthouse. The fee for this service is $20.00.
