Heads up, car owners born in October or November.
Those notices you get in the mail reminding you to renew your vehicle registration by your birthday are delayed.
"Recently, the [Georgia] Department of Revenue has determined that the vendor contracted to print and mail the renewal notices on behalf of the local County Tag offices has been faced with several operational and production related issues and therefore unable to fulfill their contractual obligations," the department said this week in a statement. "This has resulted in a severe delay in the mailing of notices to vehicle owners, specifically the October renewal reminder mailing."
Locally, people in Cobb, DeKalb, Gwinnett, Hall and Henry counties are impacted by the delay.
Owners should have received October reminders on Thursday, according to the statement. The Department of Revenue is working on getting November notices mailed as quickly as possible, officials said.
Before you ask, you will not get a reprieve from your local tax commissioner. The notices, according to the Department of Revenue, are not required.
The renewal fee is still due by midnight of your birthday.
