Our DOL subagents are also open to the public. We practice limited entry and six-foot distancing for the safety of staff and customers. These practices are being observed at the Camano Administration Building as well.

We encourage vessel and vehicle owners to consider renewing licenses and tabs electronically - refer to "Renewing Your Tabs Online" at DOL.

The Auditor's Elections Office, 400 N Main Street, Coupeville, has limited entry. We encourage masking due to the capacity and number of workers during an election.
