Good Morning,
Before I sent this to the finance department of the firm, just wanted to confirm that this is for Miami-Dade correct? Also, was the source for information. I went to the Clerk’s office and didn’t see anything.
Many thanks in advance for your response. Your guidance is much appreciated.
