During the 2024 legislative session, ​state lawmakers approved a plan for disposition of the Hillsborough transportation surtax collected between January 1, 2019, and March 15, 2021. The surtax was passed by Hillsborough County voters in 2018 and ruled unconstitutional by the Florida Supreme Court in 2021. The court signed an order providing for preliminary approval of the class action settlement. The hearing for the final approval of the settlement is scheduled for Nov​ember 7, 2024.


Hillsborough County residents and non-residents who can verify taxable expenditures with receipts or other documentation will receive compensation equal to the amount of their surtax payments. Alternatively, if you lived in Hillsborough County anytime during 2019 to March 15, 2021, and either cannot or do not wish to provide proof of taxable purchases, you can claim a standard award of up to $100 if you can establish your residency for some or all of the time the surtax was imposed. To receive a refund, eligible persons must submit a claim via www.FLTaxRefund.com​ by December 31, 2024. For questions, a call center for the Hillsborough County Settlement Administrator can be reached at 1-888-715-9373.


In addition, once the final approval of the settlement occurs, the Department of Revenue will issue a Tax Information Publication regarding a temporary suspension of the Hillsborough 0.5 percent indigent care surtax and the Hillsborough 0.5 percent local government infrastructure surtax. This temporary suspension is anticipated to begin January 1, 2025.
