Dallas/OakCliff Tax Collector Office

I really appreciate the service I received here this morning. I’m new to TX and the time had come to register my vehicle – I wasn’t sure if this was going to require hours of my time or if it could be accomplished in a few minutes. When I first went in, it was a little overwhelming, because there were multiple signs pointing in various directions that all said «Vehicle Registration» or something of that nature, a maze of queues leading to what looked like where one goes to pay and register one’s vehicle, a bunch of people sitting in chairs in a large lobby area, and a desk that said «Information.» Not wanting to get in the wrong line and feeling pretty confused, I headed straight to the Information desk. Luckily, I picked the right place to start – the woman was very friendly and helpful and gave me the form I needed to fill out and bring back to her. All of the information that was required was highlighted, which made it easier to fill out – this might not sound like much but I really appreciated the effort. The form only took a minute or so to fill out, and then when I gave it to her, she directed me to get in the line where you pay for vehicle registration. There was nobody in line at the time (around 9 AM on a Monday – shocking!), and the woman who helped me in that line was also very friendly and even welcomed me to Texas when she gave me my plates. Again, I really appreciated the friendly and prompt service and will definitely be back to this location for any future registration-​related needs. FYI — this location accepts cash, local checks, and VISA/​Mastercard credit/​debit. There is a $ 3.95 surcharge to use VISA/​Mastercard, but it was definitely more convenient than having to go get cash from an ATM somewhere and come back to get in line. There were some big pot holes in the parking lot, so beware of that.

Either you go really early or mid evenin for a short line, do NOT go around noon that’s lunch time and its normally 2 or 3 ppl working.

Service at morning is pretty good and fast. I did my car renewal for two years online because my time is pretty tie this days. Well, online didn’t work because after more than 10 business days I have to call the Tax Office to check on my sticker that at this point I have not received. The office staff were pretty fast and good to me, but the online car renewal doesn’t work. Next time, I will be doing it by myself in this office.
