Nassau County Tax Collector: Property Tax Search, Payment, Offices & Services
If you need to pay a Nassau County, Florida property tax bill, search a tax record, find an office, check a delinquent account or use another Tax Collector service, start with the official route below. This independent guide explains which office handles each task so you do not send a property-value question to the wrong department.
Quick answer: where should Nassau County taxpayers start?
The Nassau County Tax Collector in Florida collects property taxes and provides several state-agent services. For a property-tax bill, use the official tax-roll search/payment system. For assessed value, exemptions or property characteristics, use the Nassau County Property Appraiser. For tax-deed or Value Adjustment Board matters, use the appropriate Clerk/VAB process.
The Tax Collector’s official site currently lists four service locations: the main office on License Road in Fernandina Beach/Yulee area, Callahan, the Historic Courthouse in Fernandina Beach and Hilliard. Services and hours vary by branch, so do not assume every location provides every service.

The Tax Collector’s official property-tax page provides a Search the Tax Roll Records route and links taxpayers to the county tax-payment system. Current property taxes can be paid online, in person or by mail according to the official payment instructions.
Before entering payment information
Confirm that the record is the correct Nassau County property, owner, account or parcel and tax year. Review the balance and payment status before submitting. Save the receipt or confirmation after payment.
- Open the official Tax Collector route. Start from the Tax Collector’s website rather than an advertisement or an unfamiliar payment page.
- Search the tax record. Use the official tax-roll search linked from the Tax Collector website and locate the correct property account.
- Check the tax year and amount. Do not assume an old balance or a previous owner’s tax amount is your current liability.
- Review payment timing. Check whether the account is receiving an early-payment discount, is at the gross amount or has become delinquent.
- Complete payment through the official system. Review any transaction charge shown by the payment system before confirming.
- Keep proof. Save the confirmation number, receipt, payment date, amount and property/account details.
Do not confuse the tax bill with the property assessment
The Tax Collector collects the tax shown on the certified tax roll. The Property Appraiser handles assessed value and exemptions. If your question is “Why did my property value change?” or “Why did I lose an exemption?”, start with the Property Appraiser rather than trying to solve the issue through the payment portal.

Nassau County Property Tax Installment Plan
Nassau County offers a quarterly installment option for qualifying taxpayers. The official installment page says estimated taxes must exceed $100 and that the application for the next tax year is accepted from November 1 through April 30.

| 4 | March 31 | No discount | Remaining current-year balance |

Nassau County Tax Collector vs Property Appraiser vs Clerk
This is one of the most important distinctions on a property-tax page. The offices work together, but they do not perform the same job.
| Your problem | Best starting office | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Pay a property tax bill | Tax Collector | The Tax Collector collects taxes shown on the tax roll. |
| Find a tax bill or payment record | Tax Collector | Use the official tax-roll search/payment system. |
| Why did assessed value change? | Property Appraiser | Assessment and property valuation are appraisal functions. |
| Apply for or discuss an exemption | Property Appraiser | Exemptions are processed through the Property Appraiser. |
| Change information on the property assessment | Property Appraiser | Assessment records and classifications are maintained there. |
| Delinquent real-estate tax | Tax Collector | The Tax Collector handles delinquent collection and certificate processes. |
| Tax certificate purchase | Tax Collector / official tax-sale route | Certificate sales are part of delinquent tax collection. |
| Tax deed auction | Clerk of Court | Tax deed sales are a separate legal/auction process. |
| Assessment appeal | Value Adjustment Board | Use the official VAB route for eligible assessment, classification or exemption challenges. |
Do not use an old tax bill to estimate a new owner’s tax
The Tax Collector explains that assessed value, exemptions, millage rates and non-ad valorem assessments can change. A buyer should not assume the seller’s previous tax amount will be the buyer’s future bill.
Nassau County Delinquent Property Taxes and Tax Certificates
Nassau County real-estate taxes become delinquent each year on April 1. Once a property is delinquent, the payment process is different from simply paying a normal current-year bill.
What happens after delinquency?
The Tax Collector advertises delinquent parcels before the tax certificate sale as required by Florida law. The amount due can include delinquent taxes, interest, costs and other applicable charges.
For an exact payoff, use the official Tax Collector route. Do not calculate a delinquent balance from an old bill or generic calculator.
Tax certificate sale
The Tax Collector conducts a tax certificate sale beginning on or before June 1 each year. The official page states that bidding starts at 18% and moves downward, with the certificate awarded to the lowest interest-rate bidder.
A tax certificate is a lien; buying one does not mean the buyer immediately owns the property.
Owner warning
If you own a property with delinquent taxes, contact the Tax Collector promptly and obtain the current official amount and payment instructions. Tax certificate and later tax-deed consequences involve statutory procedures, so do not rely on an unofficial payoff estimate.
Nassau County Tangible Personal Property Tax
Tangible personal property tax applies to certain business and rental-property assets, including furniture, fixtures and equipment. The Tax Collector’s official information explains that tangible personal property is assessed as of January 1 of the tax year and becomes delinquent on April 1 of the following year.
Who should pay attention?
Businesses and rental-property owners with taxable tangible assets should review their TPP requirements. The Property Appraiser handles the assessment and return process, while the Tax Collector handles collection.
$25,000 exemption
The official Tax Collector information states that eligible tangible personal property accounts can receive up to a $25,000 exemption when the required DR-405 return is timely filed with the Property Appraiser.
For assessment questions, contact the Nassau County Property Appraiser. For a tax balance, delinquent collection or payment issue, use the Tax Collector.
Official TPP Tax InformationNassau County Tourist Development Tax
Nassau County also collects Tourist Development Tax for qualifying short-term rental activity. The official Tax Collector instructions direct taxpayers to the TouristExpress registration process and the county-linked filing and payment system.
Important for short-term rental owners
The official guidance says Tourist Development Tax is due monthly, with the return and payment generally due by the 20th day of the month following the reporting period. A return is required even when no tax was collected for the month.
The current official page states a 5% Tourist Development Tax and explains that online platforms do not currently remit Nassau County’s Tourist Development Tax on the owner’s behalf. Rental owners should confirm the live requirements before filing.
Official Tourist Development TaxCommon Nassau County Tax Collector Problems and What to Do
“I cannot find my tax bill.”
Start with the official tax-roll search. If the record is not available, contact the Tax Collector. The official property-tax page says a taxpayer may print a bill from the website or request a copy from the office.
“My tax amount looks different.”
Check the assessed value, exemptions, millage and non-ad valorem assessments. The Property Appraiser handles valuation and exemptions; taxing authorities set their respective millage rates.
“My mortgage company pays my taxes.”
Do not make a duplicate payment without checking escrow records. The Tax Collector explains that mortgage companies can request tax bills and that escrow arrangements affect how a taxpayer should handle payment.
“I paid, but the account does not show paid.”
Keep the confirmation number and receipt. Check the official account status and contact the Tax Collector if posting remains unresolved.
“My taxes are already delinquent.”
Do not rely on the previous bill amount. Ask the Tax Collector for the current official payoff because delinquent amounts can include additional charges.
“I received a tax-sale notice.”
Contact the Tax Collector promptly for the collection status. If the issue has progressed to a tax-deed auction, use the official Clerk route as well.
