New Tax Collector's Office Schedules Opening Date In Plant City

PLANT CITY, FL — The new tax collector's office in Plant City opens Monday to the public by appointments only, a news release said.

The new office is replacing the previous office that was located in the Strawberry Plaza on James Redman Parkway. It was developed on parcels owned by Hillsborough County. The cost for building the new office was just over $4 million, the Hillsborough County officials said.

The new building is more energy-efficient with LED lighting, additional insulation and newer air conditioning units. The lobby is also 30 percent larger than the former office.

"The timing of this office opening is ideal provided we are mandated to ensure our customers and staff are able to safely maintain social distance while conducting business with us," Tax Collector Doug Belden said.

At the new Plant City office, 4706 Sydney Road, residents will be able to get driver licenses, pay property taxes, take a road test, renew registrations as well as obtain Florida birth certificates and hunting and fishing licenses.
