Beware of the toll text scam! Scammers are sending fake text messages regarding unpaid tolls and attempting to collect payment. These texts may also threaten penalties, legal action, or suspended driving privileges. Law enforcement is aware and warns that the recipient should NOT respond or follow the instructions. These are malicious actors seeking to steal your personal and financial information. If you receive one of these text messages, click the Report Junk button at the bottom of the text. You can also contact the toll authority directly for a confirmation.

The Alachua County Tax Collector’s office is pleased to offer customers an additional option to renew their vehicle registration. We have partnered with Intellectual Technology, Inc and Publix to provide self-service registration renewal kiosks located inside the lobbies of two Gainesville stores. Locations include the Publix at NW 13th Street and NW 39th Ave (3720 NW 13th St) and the Publix in Jonesville (14130 W Newberry Rd). Customers can conveniently renew their registration in under two minutes while picking up their groceries or prescriptions at Publix. This option gives customers greater access (nights & weekends) and saves them time by serving them where they are. For more information regarding the kiosks, please click here: https://flmvexpresskiosk.com/?utm_source=FL&utm_medium=Website&utm_campaign=Kiosk
