WEST PALM BEACH – The Royal Palm Beach Service Center of Anne M. Gannon, Tax Collector, Palm Beach County, located in the Midwestern Communities Service Center is open to serve the Tax Collector’s clients.  On Tuesday, June 30, a satellite office of the Clerk & Comptroller closed at this same location, creating confusion that our service center also closed.  The Clerk & Comptroller’s Office processes traffic citation payments, passports, court, and county filings. The Tax Collector’s Royal Palm Beach Service Center processes vehicle titling, registrations, parking permits, property tax payments, and business tax receipts.  Our Royal Palm Beach Service Center is open from 8:15 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday – Friday.
