UPDATE: Tax Collector Service Centers Closed Tuesday Afternoon Through Friday Due to Hurricane Milton

BARTOW, Fla. – The Office of the Tax Collector for Polk County (TCPC) will be closed beginning Tuesday, October 8, 2024, at noon. All tax collector locations will remain closed Wednesday, October 9, through Friday, October 11, due to Hurricane Milton. Tax Collector Joe G. Tedder hopes Polk County citizens, including his staff, will be safe during this storm.

TCPC staff continues to monitor the storm and will post regular updates here at www.PolkTaxes.com, and on Facebook @polktaxes, regarding a reopening or the potential for additional closure.
