Volusia County Tax Collector To Take Over South Daytona DMV Office

South Daytona, FL – The only Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV) driver’s license office in Volusia County will be handed off to the Volusia County Tax Collector next month. The South Daytona state office will be shut down on January 5, 2022, to reopen on January 11 as an Office of Will Roberts – Tax Collector. The address is 2400 S. Ridgewood Avenue. The change is because of a Florida statute that mandates that elected tax collectors assume operations of driver license offices. The State will stage a mobile Florida Licensing on Wheels (FLOW) bus in the parking lot of the South Daytona office during the brief closure. FLOW mobile services include driver’s license and ID credentialing services and emergency contact information registration. FLOW services will be offered first-come, first-served.   After next month’s change, the only State-operated driver license offices in Florida will be in Broward and Miami-Dade counties – the two remaining Florida counties that do not have an elected tax collector.  When the office in South Daytona reopens as a tax collector’s office, services will be provided without appointments. The calendar will open by Jan. 31 for appointments starting Feb. 1. Appointments can be made online at vctaxcollector.org/appt. Walk-in services will be available along with appointments. “Once this final transition from the State is complete, we will have the tools we need to begin to create one-stop shops in all of our offices,” Roberts said. “By providing driver license services in the same location as tag and title services, we are keeping our customers from having to make trips to multiple locations to complete different motor vehicle transactions and make property tax payments.” Roberts said the goal is to add driver license services to all offices to create one-stop locations. Services already offered in the tax collector’s office include renewing a vehicle or vessel registration, paying property taxes, requesting a disabled parking placard, or obtaining a hunting and fishing license.
