The Hillsborough County Tax Collector\u2019s Office and Tampa Hillsborough Expressway Authority (THEA) recently announced an innovative partnership to integrate THEA toll clearance capabilities directly into the tax collector\u2019s online motor vehicle registration renewal system.<\/p>\n

The integration ends the frustrating cycle of being bounced between agencies. Customers no longer need to contact THEA separately to clear their Lee Roy Selmon Expressway tolls, wait days for clearance to process and then make a return trip to a tax collector\u2019s office just to complete a registration renewal.<\/p>\n

Previously, customers with outstanding THEA toll holds faced a frustrating multistop process: contact THEA by phone or online, pay the outstanding tolls, wait for the clearance to process across systems and then return to www.hillstaxfl.gov \u2014 or make an in-person trip to a tax collector\u2019s office \u2014 to complete their registration renewal. For many customers, this meant multiple attempts, repeat office visits and days of delay. With the new THEA integration, customers can now clear their tolls and complete their registration renewals immediately in a single online transaction at www.hillstaxfl.gov<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\u201cThis partnership with THEA is a great example of how collaboration between agencies drives innovation in government service delivery,\u201d said Hillsborough County Tax Collector Nancy Millan. \u201cBy working together, we\u2019ve eliminated unnecessary barriers and made it as easy as possible for customers to do business with us. No more phone calls, no more juggling multiple websites, no more driving to an office \u2014 just one seamless online transaction. Combined with our existing Central Florida Expressway (CFX) toll clearance integration, customers now have a complete solution that handles everything in one place. This is what innovative, customer-focused government service looks like.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cMany of our Selmon Expressway customers do not realize they have an unpaid toll balance until they arrive to renew their vehicle registration, often because their mailing information has changed over time,\u201d said Greg Slater, executive director and CEO of Tampa Hillsborough Expressway Authority. \u201cThis innovative partnership with the Hillsborough tax collector streamlines the process so customers can quickly resolve unpaid tolls and complete their registration without delays. To help avoid mailed invoices altogether, customers can enroll in SunPass, which offers convenient digital billing and the lowest toll rates available.\u201d <\/p>\n

The integration, enabled through collaboration between the Hillsborough County Tax Collector\u2019s Office, THEA and technology partner GrantStreet Group, automatically removes registration renewal holds once toll payments are processed. For customers, this means the frustrating cycle of repeat office visits, being bounced between agencies and multiday waiting periods is now completely eliminated. <\/p>\n

Notably, the tax collector\u2019s office previously integrated CFX toll clearance, meaning customers now have access to a comprehensive solution for clearing both major toll authorities in a single online transaction \u2014 a level of convenience and accessibility rarely seen in government services. <\/p>\n

Key benefits of the THEA toll clearance integration include: <\/p>\n

A complete one-stop solution: Clear THEA tolls and renew registration in a single online transaction, with CFX clearance also available.
\nNo more phone calls or multiple websites: Eliminates the need to contact toll authorities separately or visit multiple websites.
\nImmediate resolution: No waiting period between clearing tolls and completing renewal.
\n24\/7 availability: Access the service anytime through www.hillstaxfl.gov<\/a>.
\nNo more repeat office visits: Customers who previously had to make multiple trips \u2014 first to clear tolls, then to complete their renewal \u2014 can now handle everything in one online session, from any device, at any time.<\/p>\n

The new service reflects the tax collector\u2019s continued focus on improving customer service through technology and partnerships. Customers can access both THEA and CFX toll clearance services while renewing vehicle registrations online at www.hillstaxfl.gov<\/a>.
