Tax Collector encourages property owners to pay early for a discount.

Tampa, FL— November 1, 2023 — Hillsborough County Tax Collector Nancy C. Millan announced the opening of the 2023 Property Tax Roll on November 1, 2023.  Over 575,000 tax notices have been mailed to property owners in Hillsborough County for their 2023 property taxes.  Tax notices and information are also available online at hillstax.org.

“This year’s property tax collections are expected to total more than $3.3 billion,” said Millan. “The money collected by our office is turned around and distributed to the taxing authorities in Hillsborough County to pay for services including fire rescue and law enforcement, and infrastructure such as schools, roads, parks, and utilities.”

The earlier customers pay, the better the discount. If property taxes are paid by November 30th, a 4% discount is applied.  3% discount by December 31^st, 2% discount by January 31^st, and 1% discount by February 29^th.

Customers do not need to visit an office to make their payments. Taxpayers have easy and convenient online payment options by either credit card or by “e-Check,” which is a free electronic payment from your checking account.

There are also alternative payment options available. Taxpayers can make partial payments towards their 2023 property taxes, but certain restrictions apply. Taxpayers also have the option to plan ahead and apply for the installment plan for the 2024 tax season, which allows taxes to be paid in quarterly increments throughout the year and still take advantage of discounts.
