New Residents

Welcome to Hillsborough County

As your Tax Collector, it is my honor to welcome you to Hillsborough County.

Our office is the first point of contact for new residents in the county and for that reason we have created our New Resident Guide to make the process as easy for you as possible.

Please review the information on this page, our helpful how-to videos, and the printable guides also linked in resources. We have provided these in both English and Spanish and will be translating to additional languages in the future.

Once again, we welcome you to Hillsborough County and hope you have an excellent experience with our office.

Nancy C. Millan
Hillsborough County Tax Collector
