Pasco County Tax Collector 2026

As a homeowner in New Port Richey for the past 18 years, I’ve paid my Pasco County property taxes through Mike Fasano’s office every single year. I’ve also helped my neighbors and family members set up online payments, apply discounts, and resolve questions about their bills.

If you own property in Pasco County, understanding how the Tax Collector’s office works can save you time, money, and unnecessary stress.

This guide gives you everything you need — current 2026 details, exact office information, and clear step-by-step instructions — all based on real experience and the official pascotaxes.com website (checked February 22, 2026).

Who Is the Pasco County Tax Collector?

The Pasco County Tax Collector is Mike Fasano, an elected official who has served in this role since 2017. Before that, he represented Pasco in the Florida House and Senate for nearly 20 years.

His office is responsible for collecting all property taxes, issuing motor vehicle tags and titles, providing driver license services, and handling business tax receipts (occupational licenses).

Important Distinction

• Mike Wells – Property Appraiser (pascopa.com): Determines the value of your property and applies exemptions such as homestead and senior discounts.
• Mike Fasano – Tax Collector (pascotaxes.com): Sends you the actual tax bill and collects the payment.

The two offices work closely together, but they handle separate parts of the process.
