Public Records Requests

The Hernando County Tax Collector’s Office is committed to transparency and open government in accordance with Chapter 119, Florida Statutes and Article I, Section 24 of the Florida Constitution. Public records that are not exempt or confidential by law are available for inspection or copying. 

Records Maintained by the Tax Collector's Office

The Hernando County Tax Collector’s Office complies with Florida’s public records law by timely responding to requests for records related to the following service areas: 

  • Property Taxes 
  • Tax Collector’s Office Administration 

Records Not Maintained by the Tax Collector's Office

The Hernando County Tax Collector acts as an agent for several state and local agencies. While we provide customer service on their behalf, our office is not the custodian of their records. Public records for these agencies must be requested directly from the appropriate entity.
