Seminole County Tax Collector

Fastest service ever!!! The staff was extremely helpful and very friendly. Unlike my past experiences at other locations this was pleasant, efficient, and well coordinated. It is hidden in the back of the plaza so follow the signs. They always have plenty of parking. Definitely my new spot for all my tax needs.

This is the second time in the last two months I have visited the Seminole County Tax Collector’s Office. Both times have been horrible service. Today I was renewing my registration and had a long wait in line with what seemed like no A/​C. When I was called to the window the woman was more concerned that I take my coffee outside than being helpful. She also refused to accept my insurance card because it did not have the vin. I had the vin on my old registration, on the letter from the tax collector and a current insurance card.
The woman who «helped me», Linda, has no customer services skills and was completely unhelpful. If her goal was only to get my coffee outside, she succeeded. Service by Ray Valdes’ Office is so bad not only won’t I ever vote for him, I will actively campaign for anyone running against him. He has wasted my time with his incompotent staff.

I can’t tell you what a great experience I had recently registering my car since recently moving to Florida! Paperwork, especially in a county office, is never pleasant. However, I was so very pleasantly surprised at this facility. I came on a Friday afternoon, 4pm, to switch the title on my car to my name and to obtain registration. I was expecting a long line, grumpy people and ready to not accomplish the task at all. Well, we were finished in 23 minutes-​yes, that’s from the time I entered the facility, to a very nice clerk inspecting my vehicle for mileage and VIN number, paying and walking out with a FL license plate! Plus, my new title arrived in 3 business days. Very very good experience, of you need to register your car or get your driver’s license –they take appts– this is the place to go!!!

Holy speed, batman! This place is crazy fast! I let my wife’s tag get about 2 weeks overdue, so I came here to pay for the renewal and was literally in and out in under 10 minutes, and even then it only took that long because I ended up having a pleasant conversation with the very friendly employee who helped me. There was no wait, and unlike almost any other government office I have even been to, the people who work here actually seem genuinely happy with life and to be working. They were able to renew my tag immediately and give me the sticker on the spot, plus she waived the late fee for me since I wasn’t into the next month. I’m very happy with this location and will probably just come here next year when I need a tag renewal rather than mailing it in.

No wait friendly staff! Use this location, it is easy to get to with lots of parking!

This is hands down the place to go if you have forgotten to mail in your license plate renewal before your birthday arrives. I have been here many times, and never waited more that five minutes. They are always adequately staffed, and it appears that nobody really knows they are there.
As Cheryl S. mentioned, they are tucked in behind R.G. Brewski’s and Fresh Market, so that probably attributes to their lack of foot traffic. The staff is friendly, and you can actually accomplish renewing your tag (or other tax collector tasks) within your lunch hour. Do yourself a favor, and make the extra drive over here, even if it is a bit farther than your local office.

For a government office, this place is great! I had to renew my tag — you know, happy birthday, you owe us money — so I went here planning my entire lunch hour around waiting in line. Not so! I walked in, handed them my registration and payment, and walked out in less than a minute.
The office is tucked back in between some storefronts in a weird area that’s difficult to find. Don’t feel like a moron is you can’t find it at first!
