Mary Alice Reporting –
The Ohio BMV issued a statement as the closure of the Uhrichsville Bureau of Motor Vehicles faces a shutdown toward the end of April.
According to the agency, “During the annual Deputy Registrar RFP process, the BMV assesses operational viability in conjunction with Deputy Registrar contractors and evaluates a number of metrics before deciding whether to issue a request for bid proposals.
The private contractor who currently holds the contract for the Uhrichsville agency, the Twin City Chamber of Commerce, indicated to the BMV that declining revenue and a number of other factors hampered their ability to continue to effectively operate the agency. Accordingly, the BMV has decided not to seek proposals for this location at this time.
The Uhrichsville Deputy Registrar location completed a total of 36,513 transactions in 2023, which is among the lowest in the state.
The BMV remains committed to maintaining a presence in Tuscarawas County in New Philadelphia, which is a centrally located one-stop location that includes a Deputy Registrar, Clerk’s Title Office and a Driver Examination station.”
A message for comment was left with the Twin City Chamber of Commerce.
