Title & Tag Services
Information for Dealers, Tow Companies, Title Service Companies & Financial Institutions
The Hillsborough County Tax Collector’s Office is committed to providing efficient, excellent service. To meet growing demand from dealers, title service companies, tow companies, financial institutions, and their representatives, we are streamlining our tag and title processing. Our office processes transactions exclusively for dealers located in Hillsborough County. Dealers located outside of Hillsborough County must process transactions in their county of operation. These changes provide you with multiple convenient service options while ensuring we continue to serve all customers effectively.
Four service options are available:
1 - Smart Locker and In-Office Drop-off Processing
Drop off your completed title work 24/7 using Smart Lockers at our Brandon and North Tampa locations, or during business hours inside our Southshore, Plant City, and Drew Park offices.
Not available at: Downtown, AAA/Westshore, East Tampa, and MacDill AFB locations
For more information on our Smart Lockers program, visit our Smart Lockers page.
Our authorized partner, Dealer Tag Agency, Inc. (DTA), processes all dropped-off work with a target turnaround of 3 business days (excluding weekends and office closures). Processing times may vary based on volume and submission completeness.
Required for drop-off: All transactions involving Towing & Storage, Labor & Storage, and Bonded titles must be dropped off and require additional processing time due to complex paperwork and research requirements.
