If you are concerned your registration has a stop or suspension against it preventing renewal, please contact our Call Center (727-847-8032, 813-235-6076, 352-521-4338) to inquire about the status of your registration before coming in or mailing.  

When does my registration expire?

Why Did My Renewal Come From Pasco?

Renewal notices are printed several months in advance by the Division of Motor Vehicles and mailed out in bulk to local Tax Collector offices. Generally, they are sent according to the zip codes that fall within each county. Sometimes individuals have a "dual" zip code which covers two different counties. For example, there are zip codes in Lutz that cover both Pasco and Hillsborough counties. In cases like this, you may receive a renewal from Pasco instead of the county you live in.

You may take your renewal to your local Tax Collectors office for processing instead of Pasco County if you would like, or you may renew your tag by mail or in person at any Pasco County Tax Collector office.

Please be advised that as of April 7, 2018 the Pasco Tax Collector will only be offering Saturday hours and services to Pasco residents.  We will continue to welcome all customer during our normal business hours Monday through Friday.

Mobile Home Registration

Do I need to Register my Mobile Home?

Mobile homes are required to be titled and currently registered at all times, even when unoccupied. Mobile home decals expire at midnight, December 31st of each year. The fee to register a mobile home is determined by its length. The failure to register every year will result in delinquent tax.

When the owner of the mobile home is also the owner of the land on which the mobile home is permanently affixed, a Real Property Decal is required.

If you currently have a regular mobile home decal, and own the land your mobile home is affixed to, do not renew your mobile home decal. Instead, contact the Property Appraiser's Office at 727-847-8151 , 352-521-4433, or 813-929-2780.

Before the Tax Collector's Office can issue a Real Property Decal, an application for Real Property Decal must be issued by the Property Appraiser's Office. The Real Property Decal is permanent, and has no expiration date. To apply for a Real Property Decal, submit proof of ownership and an application for a Real Property Decal to the Tax Collector's Office.
