“Putting people first by delivering exceptional service with accountability, innovation, and integrity.” - Honorable Dariel Fernandez, Tax Collector, Miami-Dade County. “Putting people first” means creating a service-oriented approach that emphasizes accountability, innovation, and integrity at every level. It ensures that residents receive not only efficient and effective solutions but also a commitment to fairness and transparency. By fostering a culture of trust and dedication, this philosophy aims to make a meaningful impact on the community, delivering services that exceed expectations and build lasting confidence in the processes and systems that serve them.
The Tax Collector administers state laws, local ordinances and policies to properly collect current and delinquent real and personal property taxes, as well as delinquent accounts for various County departments. In addition, we collect special assessments for all local taxing authorities and local business tax receipts. We act on behalf of the state of Florida to issue automobile, boat, hunting and fishing licenses. We also process motor vehicle registration and renewals.
