Order specialty license plates online

The Lee County Tax Collector is expanding its online service by offering Florida’s specialty license plates on its site.

With causes ranging from education to environment, sports to health, Florida offers more than 100 different specialty plates on behalf of various organizations. The money raised from their sale goes directly to the organization. According to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, since inception, millions of dollars have been raised.

With the launch of online sales at www.LeeTC.com , buying these specialty plates has never been easier. The platform allows customers to view the designs and select their preferred option, paying by credit card, debit card or e-check. Once the order is placed, the plate is mailed directly to them. Customers can even purchase them as gifts for others.

“We know time is precious,” says Tax Collector Noelle Branning. “This new platform provides convenience for our customers, allowing us to deliver 5-star service quickly and efficiently, which is our mission.”

Including the purchase of specialty plates, customers can also renew their vehicle registration, pay their property taxes, apply for and renew a business tax receipt, buy specialty plate vouchers and in some cases, renew their driver’s license online through LeeTC.com/pay-online.

Just last month, Florida lawmakers gave final approval to a bill that would create new specialty license plates, including a “Margaritaville” plate to honor the late musician Jimmy Buffett.

The 10 most popular specialty plates as of April 1 are:

Endless Summer: 135,054
