Government services are now more accessible for Airmen and families at MacDill Air Force Base with the opening of the Hillsborough County Tax Collectorโ€™s Office at the BX.

The location offers a full suite of services, including driver licenses and ID cards; vehicle registration and title transactions; property tax payments; hunting and fishing licenses; and moreโ€”helping the MacDill community save time and complete routine tasks without leaving the base.

The MacDill BX marked the opening with a ribbon-cutting led by Col. Edward Szczepanik, 6th Air Refueling Wing commander; Hillsborough County Tax Collector Nancy Millan; and Exchange Services Business Manager Sherri Samudio, who were joined by more than 50 local leaders, county and state elected officials.

โ€œBringing these essential services to the BX is a significant improvement for the MacDill community,โ€ Samudio said. โ€œBy collaborating with the Hillsborough County Tax Collectorโ€™s Office, weโ€™re making it easier for Airmen and their families to take care of important tasks quickly and conveniently in one place.โ€

Home to U.S. Central Command and U.S. Special Operations Command, MacDill AFB sees nearly 17,000 Warfighters, their families and Department of War civilians each day.

The office operates on a first-come, first-served basis. Customers can walk in, join the waiting list and opt in to receive a text message when it is their turn.

โ€œWe think the office will be a big win for the MacDill BX,โ€ Samudio said. โ€œIf youโ€™ve ever used these services outside the gate, then you know you may be waiting a long time. At the BX, shoppers can address their other needs while waiting for their turn.โ€

The office is open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Wednesday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
