On the 25th anniversary of September 11, our community is invited to a 9/11 Remembrance Ceremony and Honor March in Green Cove Springs.

We'll read the names of the firefighters, law enforcement officers, and emergency responders who made the ultimate sacrifice on that day. Local first responders from across the area will march through downtown Green Cove Springs as a symbol of service, sacrifice,
and unity.

Honor March
📍 View along Palmetto Avenue and Walnut Street
🕙 Begins at 9:15 a.m.

Remembrance Ceremony
📍 Spring Park gazebo
🕙 9:30 a.m.

Chairs will be available, but you're welcome to bring your own.

This is a joint effort between Clay County Fire Rescue, Clay County Sheriff's Office, Florida , and other Clay County agencies.

We hope you'll join us as we reflect on the lives lost, honor those who served, and reaffirm that we will never forget.

🏆 Clay County ranks among the best in Florida!

The Clay County Tax Collector's Office ranked 3rd in the state for motor vehicle tax credit contributions through the Step Up For Students program, even though Clay County is only the 25th largest county by population.

Last fiscal year, Clay County generated $322,843.38, outperforming 64 other county tax collector offices statewide.

The program doesn't cost residents anything extra. When purchasing a motor vehicle, eligible residents can choose to direct up to $105 of the state sales tax owed on their vehicle purchase to Step Up For Students instead of having that portion sent to the Florida Department of Revenue. Those funds help provide scholarships that expand educational opportunities for Florida students.

We're proud to offer residents a simple way to make a meaningful impact for students and families across Florida. Learn More at: https://www.stepupforstudents.org/

We hope everyone had a safe, happy, and relaxing 4th of July holiday! 🇺🇸

As we get back into the work week, please expect our offices to remain steadily busy as we work through the increased demand following the holiday closures.

Need something completed in a hurry this week?
It is in your best interest to schedule an appointment before coming to the office.

🔗 Make an Appointment:
www.claycountytax.com/qless

We primarily operate by appointment to help keep our schedule running smoothly and reduce wait times for everyone. Appointments allow us to better manage the day's workload while continuing to serve all Clay County residents as efficiently as possible.

We understand that life happens, so we accommodate a limited number of walk-ins between scheduled appointments. If you're unable to join the walk-in line, it simply means all appointment and walk-in availability for the day has been filled. Scheduling an appointment is the best way to guarantee you'll be seen that day and helps make your visit as quick and convenient as possible.

Not in a hurry?
Many of our services are available online from the comfort of your home:
