Friendly reminder, your car registration has an expiration date and deputies do check. 👀

Don't let an expired registration turn your quick errand into an unexpected tow trip. Vehicles with expired registration can be cited, towed, and impounded, leaving you with a much bigger bill than your renewal fee. So please, check your registration and renew if it's expired.
