Specialized Transactions

As we continually strive to improve our customer service, we have implemented several ways for specialized transactions to be processed. The options below provide you with the flexibility to meet your needs and avoid wait times in our lobbies!

To complete your paperwork, select one of the 3 options listed:

• Drop off title work in the DeSoto Dealer Department, located at our DeSoto Office (819 – 301 Boulevard West, Bradenton).  There is a 3-business day* turnaround and you will be contacted by phone or email when your work is ready for pickup.
  
  
• Drop off title work at one of our branch offices (addresses listed below).  Your work will be couriered to the DeSoto Dealer Department for processing.  Our courier picks up every Tuesday and Thursday, excluding holidays.  There is a 3-business day* turnaround which begins upon receipt of work by the DeSoto Dealer Department. You will be contacted by the branch office by phone or e-mail when your work has been returned by the DeSoto Dealer Department and is ready for pickup. Note: By couriering the work from a branch, it could take up to a week or more for the completed work to be returned to the branch for pickup.
  
  
• Process your work by visiting other area Tax Collectors.  If you cannot wait and must process your title work sooner than the 3-business day* turnaround provided, you may visit another tax collector’s office.  Below are the offices closest to you:
