Tax Collector Closing East Hillsborough Office Temporarily

TAMPA, FL — Hillsborough County motorists who need to take their driving tests will have to report to a new location starting March 1.

The Hillsborough County Tax Collector’s Office has announced its East Hillsborough office, 2814 E. Hillsborough Ave., is shutting down on Feb. 26. The office, which shares a building with the Florida Department of Highway Safety & Motor Vehicles’ Bureau of Administrative Review, is closing to make way for the construction of a larger, more customer-friendly facility, the county announced.

The new office won’t open until sometime in the fall. In the meantime, the Drew Park office will handle driver’s license road tests starting March 1. That office is located at 4100 W. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd.

“Drivers needing to take a road test are required to schedule an appointment,” the county reminded in an email to media. Those needing to schedule appointments can do so online at www.hillstax.org.

For all other tax collector services, residents are encouraged to visit the county’s seven other tax collector’s offices or use the online services offered at www.hillstax.org.
