The Brevard County Tax Collector is an elected Constitutional Officer responsible for carrying out all functions, duties and requirements prescribed by the Constitution, laws of Florida and the Brevard County Charter. 

The Tax Collector’s Office is responsible for overseeing a variety of services in the county such as collection of property, tangible, ad-valorem, non ad-valorem, sales, and tourist taxes.  The office contracts with the Board of County Commission to issue Business Tax Receipts.  The Tax Collector also acts as an agent of the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicle providing both motor vehicle and driver license services and the Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission issuing hunting and fishing licenses and permits.  After collecting taxes and associated fees, the Tax Collector must balance those monies and transmit them to the proper taxing authorities.  The Tax Collector in Brevard County is a fee office, meaning that the funding for the office is derived from the fees permitted by the Florida Statutes. The Department of Revenue (DOR) approves the budget of the Tax Collector and is integral to the checks and balances of taxation.

Since taking office on January 6, 2009, Lisa Cullen has worked to reduce the budget of the Tax Collector’s Office.  While recognizing the needs of constituents, the office continues to meet the needs of the public through expanded services and technological solutions.
