I take advantage of paperless options everywhere and got burned by the "Paperless DMV Vehicle Renewal Notice" going to SPAM. I had to pay pretty hefty late fee (a few hundred dollars).
Since that event, I've flipped the switch back to "snail mail" and will resist the constant nagging until they implement a paper fallback (i.e. notify by email first and if it's not paid within X weeks of deadline, fire off a paper notification).
- cinntaile 3y agoTell your government to create an electronic mail service that you log into using your ID for all your government communication. Spam doesn't exist there.
- declan_roberts 3y agoThe federal government doesn’t administer state and local taxes and doesn’t care.

- declan_roberts 3y agoI had a similar situation with property taxes. But somehow that “paperless” box keeps getting checked despite me being very careful not to use it.
- otteromkram 3y agoWhy would you filter any sender with a ".gov" domain (in the US, at least) to spam. Also, don't you check your spam folder? Or, do you just straight up delete everything once the "pile" gets too big? Sounds like a "you" problem, not a delivery problem.
