Find the Right Seminole County Tax Collector Office Before You Drive
If you searched for the Seminole County Tax Collector, the answer depends on the task: property tax, tag renewal, title transfer, driver license, road test, concealed weapon permit, BTR, tourist tax or an Oviedo kiosk renewal.
The closest office is not always the right office. Sanford is appointment only, Casselberry handles road testing, Altamonte Springs handles Hazmat by appointment, and Oviedo is limited to self-service tag-renewal kiosks.

Which Seminole County Tax Collector route should you use?
Use the County-Taxes portal when you need Seminole County property tax search, payment, payment history, bill review, tangible tax or discount-month confirmation.
Use the official locations page before driving. Branches may be open 9:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m., but driver license, testing, Hazmat and concealed weapon services have separate rules.
Use Oviedo kiosks only for eligible tag renewals. For property tax, title transfer, driver license, road test, BTR or permit help, choose a full-service branch instead.
Use the Seminole County Property Appraiser when the issue is assessed value, exemption eligibility, mailing address, ownership, parcel data or legal description.
Use BTR rules by city. Altamonte Springs, Longwood and Oviedo use one-stop handling, while Sanford, Casselberry, Lake Mary and Winter Springs businesses generally need city and county routing.
