TAMPA, Fla – Hillsborough County Tax Collector Nancy C. Millan will be temporarily closing the Tax Collector’s North Tampa office, located at 3011 University Center Drive in Tampa, to expand the facility starting on June 16th at 12:00 p.m.
Hillsborough County now has the third largest population in Florida with approximately 1.5 million residents.
According to ESRI, the population will reach 1.6 million by 2025. Statewide motorist data shows the number of licensed drivers in Hillsborough County has increased by over 20% since 2010 – a net increase of over 227,000 licensed drivers.

The Tax Collector’s office on University Center Drive has been open since 2011 and serves about 17 percent of the Tax Collector’s total branch customer base, estimated to be about one million in 2023. Millan anticipates the new and improved North Tampa office will re-open in the fall.
“We will work to minimize any disruptions to our services during this period,” said Millan. “We are excited about the opportunity to expand services in the North Tampa area to meet service demands, even if we have to close for a short period to make it happen.” The new and improved office will have new and innovative service features such a self-service stations and virtual agent stations.
