Hillsborough County Tax Collector Nancy C. Millan has partnered with the Tampa Hillsborough Expressway Authority (THEA) to provide a convenient way for customers resolve vehicle registration holds due to unpaid tolls.
To reduce red tape, the Hillsborough County Tax Collector will collect payment for the unpaid tolls along with the registration renewal transaction — streamlining the process for customers.
The arrangement allows vehicle owners to pay delinquent toll-by-plate invoices while renewing their vehicle registrations at all Hillsborough County Tax Collector locations, according to a news release.
In the past, the Tax Collector’s Office was forced to turn away customers with a hold on their registration due to unpaid tolls. Customer would have to pay the Expressway Authority first, then come back to the Tax Collector’s Office to renew their registrations.
“My top priority is to provide convenience and exceptional customer service to the taxpayers we serve,” Millan said in the release.
Her office processes close to 1.4 million motor vehicle transactions annually.
The Tax Collector’s Office provides this service at no additional cost to taxpayers.
The office also can collect unpaid tolls and clear vehicle registration holds for the Central Florida Expressway Authority (CFX).
