Miami, FL. March 17, 2025 – The Miami-Dade County Tax Collector’s Office, under the leadership of the Honorable Dariel Fernandez, has successfully uncovered a network of appointment scalpers profiting from driver’s license scheduling. These bad actors have been hoarding free appointments and reselling them for a profit, creating false demand and unnecessary barriers for residents in need of essential services.

“We know who they are and how they operate. We will not accept any appointment obtained through system abuse,” said Miami-Dade County Tax Collector Dariel Fernandez. “Our office is committed to ensuring that all residents have fair and equal access to services without interference from those seeking to exploit the system.”

The Tax Collector’s Office will work closely with Miami-Dade County officials and law enforcement to put an end to fraudulent and exploitive activity. This decisive step reinforces the office’s commitment to efficiency, accessibility, and integrity in public service.

Our message is clear, residents should not pay an unregulated third-party for what should be a free appointment. Our website is easier to use than ever, book your visit directly through the Office of the Tax Collector.
