Current 2026 service update before you visit
The official Pasco hours page shows a New Port Richey office remodel notice effective June 1, 2026. During the notice period, driver license services are not available at the New Port Richey office, while other services remain available. The same notice points Hazmat services to the Dade City office.
Also note the current resident rules: weekday hours differ for Pasco residents and out-of-county residents, Saturday service is limited to Gulf Harbors and Wesley Chapel for Pasco residents only, and no driver license services are offered after 11:30 AM on Saturdays.
How to pay Pasco County property taxes online
The safest online route is to start from the official Pasco County Tax Collector website and follow the official payment link. Do not begin from an ad, old bookmark, screenshot, map listing, or private payment page unless it clearly matches the office-linked Pasco portal.
- Open the official tax payment page. Use the Tax Collector’s Pay Your Taxes Online page before entering payment information.
- Choose the correct account type. Real estate tax, tangible personal property tax and business tax are separate search/payment routes.
- Search carefully. Use parcel, account, owner, business name or property details according to the search screen.
- Match the record. Verify Pasco County, the bill year, property or account, taxpayer name, installment status, and amount before paying.
- Review the fee. Card and e-check vendor fees can affect the total. The checkout screen should be your last verification point.
- Save confirmation. Keep the confirmation number, receipt, paid bill printout or bank/card proof until the payment posts correctly.
Do not use a fake tax-payment shortcut
Property tax payment searches often show third-party pages, old directory pages and ads. Use PascoTaxes.com first, then follow the official links to the Pasco county-taxes.com portal for tax records and payments.
Pasco County online payment fees
The official Pasco online tax payment page says credit/debit card fees are authorized by Florida Statute 215.322, paid to the card vendor, and not retained by the Pasco Tax Collector’s Office. For real estate tax, tangible personal property tax and local business tax, the current page lists these online fees:
| Payment type | Current listed fee | Practical note |
|---|---|---|
| Credit card / debit card | 3.00% service fee, $2.75 minimum transaction fee | A percentage fee can be expensive on a large tax bill. Compare e-check, mail or in-office options. |
| E-check | $0.50 per transaction | Often cheaper than card payment, but verify bank details and confirm the payment posts. |
| Wire transfer | Real estate and tangible tax only, when using the official wire-transfer route | Use only the official Tax Collector instructions. Do not rely on phone/email instructions from an unverified sender. |
| No online vendor fee | Use a U.S. bank check or allowed money order and allow delivery time. | |
| In person | Depends on payment method | Bring the bill/account details and confirm accepted methods for the service you need. |
Fee safety for large bills
A 3.00% card fee adds $150 to a $5,000 bill and $300 to a $10,000 bill. That does not mean a card is always wrong, but the fee should be a conscious choice, not a surprise at checkout.
Pasco County property tax discounts, gross amount and delinquency
Florida property tax timing matters because the discount changes by month. Pasco’s official date page lists collection of real estate and tangible taxes beginning in November, with discounts decreasing until the gross amount is due by March 31.
| Time period | Official Pasco/Florida framework | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| November | Collection begins; 4% discount on real estate and tangible taxes. | Best discount month for many current bills. |
| December | 3% discount. | Check mortgage/escrow status before paying yourself. |
| January | 2% discount. | Verify the tax year and account before submitting. |
| February | 1% discount. | Do not wait if mail or bank processing could delay payment. |
| March | Gross amount due by March 31; no discount. | Pay or verify before the delinquency date. |
| April 1 | Unpaid taxes become delinquent. | Get the current payoff instead of estimating from an old bill. |
| On or before June 1 | Delinquent real estate tax certificate sale begins on or before June 1. | Use official delinquency and tax certificate guidance for account-specific action. |
Late taxes can cost more than the tax bill shows
Pasco’s date page explains that delinquent real estate taxes receive an added interest charge, tangible taxes can accrue monthly interest, and advertising or warrant processing can add more steps. Always verify the current amount with the official Tax Collector route before paying a delinquent account.
Pasco County tax records, receipts and e-bill help
The Pasco Tax Collector provides separate record-search links for real estate tax, tangible tax, business tax receipts and commercial solid waste assessments. Use the records route when you need to confirm a bill, search a paid account, or print a receipt after posting.
Real estate tax records
Use this route for parcel-based property tax bills, payment status, prior-year lookup and paid bill printing.
Search Real Estate TaxTangible personal property
Use this route for business equipment or other tangible personal property tax accounts, not ordinary home value issues.
Search Tangible TaxBusiness tax receipts
Use the business account route if the bill or renewal is for a Pasco County Business Tax Receipt.
Search Business TaxReceipt reminder
The official receipt page says a validated property tax receipt will not be mailed for each parcel or account. You can use your canceled check, print a receipt online after searching the parcel/account, or visit an office for a printed receipt.
Pasco County Tax Collector offices, phones and service limits
Pasco County Tax Collector services are spread across five offices. The closest branch is not always the best branch if you need Saturday service, driver license service, Hazmat service, road testing, dealer work, or a remodel-affected service.
| Office | Address | Phone | Important note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dade City | East Pasco Government Center, 14236 6th Street, Room 100, Dade City, FL 33523-3411 | (352) 521-4360 | Main physical address; Hazmat services are directed here during the New Port Richey remodel notice. |
| New Port Richey | West Pasco Government Center, 8731 Citizens Drive, Room 120, New Port Richey, FL 34654 | (727) 847-8165 | 2026 remodel notice: no driver license services at this office during the notice period. |
| Gulf Harbors | 4720 U.S. Highway 19, New Port Richey, FL 34652 | (727) 847-8165 | Saturday service listed for Pasco residents only. |

Office hours and resident rules
Mail payments, drop boxes and out-of-country checks
Use the official mailing address for payments and renewals rather than mailing to a branch street address unless the Tax Collector gives different instructions for your specific transaction.
Mailing address
Pasco County Tax CollectorPost Office Box 276
Dade City, Florida 33526-0276
Make checks payable to “Mike Fasano, Tax Collector.”
Main physical address
Pasco County Tax Collector14236 6th Street, Room 100
Dade City, FL 33523-3411
Use this for the Dade City office and map reference, not automatically as the mailing address.
Out-of-country check warning
The official Pasco date page says out-of-country checks cannot be accepted even when payable in U.S. funds because of correspondent-bank processing fees. It instructs taxpayers to remit payment by international money order or check drawn on a United States bank.
Drop box reminder
The official hours page says a secure drop box is conveniently placed outside each of the five offices. Drop box use should not be treated as instant posting, especially near a discount or delinquency deadline.
Installment payment plan and partial-payment caution
Pasco taxpayers with qualifying estimated taxes may be able to use an installment payment plan for real estate or tangible personal property taxes. The official installment guidance says each parcel or account requires a separate application, applications for the next year are due by April 30, and annual renewal is automatic once participation is established and requirements are met.
| Installment | Typical due period | Discount framework | Key caution |
|---|---|---|---|
| First installment | June | 6% discount | Payment due in June but received in July does not receive the 6% discount and can trigger penalty. |
| Second installment | September | 4.5% discount | Confirm the account remains active in the plan. |
| Third installment | December | 3% discount | Do not confuse installment timing with regular December discount timing. |
| Final installment | March | No discount | Final payment must be handled before delinquency risk. |
Partial payments are not a shortcut around deadlines
If you are making a partial or installment-related payment, confirm whether the account remains eligible, how the payment will apply, and whether a discount or penalty changes. Do not assume a small payment stops all delinquency consequences.
Pasco County Tax Collector DMV, driver license and motor vehicle services
In Florida, county tax collectors commonly act as state agents for motor vehicle and driver license services. Pasco’s official common-questions page says the Tax Collector is an agent for FLHSMV, issuing driver licenses and identification cards, titles and registrations for motor vehicles, mobile homes and vessels, and handicapped parking placards.
Driver license and ID
Driver license services are listed at all five offices, but the 2026 New Port Richey remodel notice temporarily removes driver license service from that branch.
Driver License InfoVehicle registration and title
Use the motor vehicle section for registration renewals, titles, vessels, mobile homes, disabled parking permits and related forms.
Motor Vehicle InfoRenewal kiosks
The official kiosk page says vehicle registration renewals are the only transaction the kiosk is currently designed to complete.
Kiosk InfoBefore visiting for driver license service
Business Tax Receipt and Tourist Development Tax in Pasco County
The Pasco County Tax Collector also handles business and short-term-rental tax workflows. These are not the same as paying a homeowner property tax bill, so the application, filing and renewal rules matter.
Business Tax Receipt
Pasco Business Tax Receipts are annual and renewable. The official page says they are valid through September 30 and become delinquent October 1. Most businesses operating in Pasco County need a county BTR, and businesses inside city limits may also need a city Business Tax Receipt.
- Renewals begin July 1.
- Renewals are due by September 30.
- New accounts are accepted throughout the year.
- Fees are not prorated for a business opened before July 1.
- Some state-regulated businesses may be exempt.
Tourist Development Tax
Pasco’s tourist development tax applies to transient rentals. The official Tax Collector page says the Board of County Commissioners authorized the Pasco Tax Collector to collect and administer the tax, and the rate increased from 4% to 5% for rental stays as of June 1, 2022.
- Register and file through Tourist Express or by official mail route.
- Call 352-518-5097 for tourist tax questions.
- Email touristtax@pascotaxes.com for the official tourist tax department route.
- A tourist tax account does not prove compliance with other state, local or community rental rules.
Business Tax Receipt application details
The official BTR application page says typical required information includes the type of business, business name, physical location, mailing address, phone numbers, owner or manager details, fictitious-name registration or exemption statement, federal employer identification number or Social Security number, applicable state/county/regulatory license, and the date the business opened in Pasco County.
City-limit warning for businesses
If a business operates inside a Pasco city, a city Business Tax Receipt may also be required. Some cities may require the county BTR before issuing a city BTR, so check both county and city requirements before opening or renewing.
Other Pasco Tax Collector services residents often miss
The Pasco Tax Collector’s official common-questions page lists several state-agent services beyond property taxes. These services can be useful, but each has its own eligibility, documents, fee and appointment rules.
Birth certificates
Florida-born individuals may request eligible birth certificate service at Pasco Tax Collector offices. The official page limits who can process the request, such as the person if over 18 or qualifying parents listed on the certificate.
Birth Certificate InfoConcealed weapon license route
Pasco’s official page explains application, renewal and replacement service routes as an agent for the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. Bring the official documents required by FDACS and Pasco’s current instructions.
CWL InfoHunting and fishing licenses
The office acts as an agent for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission for hunting and fishing licenses or permits. Use the official FWC/Pasco route for license-specific rules.
Hunt / Fish InfoTax Collector vs Property Appraiser vs Clerk: who handles what?
Many Pasco searches mix the Tax Collector, Property Appraiser, Clerk and FLHSMV. The Tax Collector collects and processes payments after taxes are set by other taxing authorities. It does not lower your assessed value or create your exemption.

Delinquent tax, tax certificate and tax deed caution
Pasco’s date page says delinquent real estate tax statements are mailed in November, delinquent real estate taxes are advertised before the tax certificate sale, and the tax certificate sale for delinquent real estate taxes begins on or before June 1.
Do not estimate a redemption or tax deed payoff
Tax certificates, advertising costs, interest, fees, Clerk steps and redemption timing can create account-specific consequences. Use the official Tax Collector and Clerk resources before paying, bidding, redeeming, or assuming a property is clear.
