Hillsborough County Tax Collector’s Office Announces Limited Reopening of Three Locations on Tuesday, October 15th
Tampa, FL — October 14, 2024
The Hillsborough County Tax Collector’s Office will reopen three locations on Tuesday, October 15th to serve the community following the impacts of Hurricane Milton. The offices reopening are:
- Brandon Office: 3030 N Falkenburg Rd, Brandon, FL 33619
- Drew Park Office: 4100 W Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd, Tampa, FL 33614
- North Tampa Office: 3011 University Center Dr, Tampa, FL 33612
The safety of both the community and staff remains the top priority, and more locations will
reopen as soon as possible.
Anticipated High Demand
As the Tax Collector’s Office resumes operations, it is anticipated that demand will be extremely high in the coming weeks. With storm-related closures delaying services, customers may experience longer wait times at reopened locations.
Online Services and Publix Kiosks
To help ease wait times, many services, including vehicle registration renewals and property tax payments, remain available online at hillstax.org. Additionally, self-service kiosks for vehicle registration renewals are available at eight Publix locations throughout the county, subject to store hours.
Honoring Appointments Affected by Office Closures
For customers who had scheduled appointments during the closures, the Tax Collector’s Office will honor all appointments through November 13th. Customers can visit any open location without rescheduling, or they may choose to reschedule their appointment for a later time.
Statement from Tax Collector Nancy Millan
“Reopening our offices after such a challenging time is a testament to the strength and resilience of our team and our community,” said Nancy Millan, Hillsborough County Tax Collector. “As we recover from Hurricane Milton, we remain committed to providing amazing service experiences. We appreciate your patience and are here to help as we move forward together.”

The Tax Collector’s Office will continue to provide updates on additional office reopenings and recovery efforts. For the latest information, visit hillstax.org or follow the office on social media.
