New Sarasota County Tax Collectors' office breaks ground

Construction has begun on a new $6.7 million Sarasota County Tax Collector office at 6100 Sawyer Loop Road.

The 10,770-square-foot office, on nearly six acres, will feature a contained road course for driver license testing, an after-hours payment drop box and a drive-thru payment option.

In addition, the new office will offer a full range of Tax Collector services, including the issuance of driver's licenses, vehicle titles and registrations and tax payment collection.
