While there might not be a lot of vacant land left on and near Marco Island, existing commercial real estate is a hot topic. In some cases, just a floor in a building is for sale. In other cases, an entire building that could be razed for more development.
Traditional leases are still happening, including a move that will benefit residents who for more than a year have been forced to leave the island to renew driver’s licenses and vehicle registrations.
Marco Island tax office re-opens in temporary location
The Marco Island branch of the Collier County Tax Collector has re-opened after more than a year, in a new temporary location 650 East Elkcam Circle. Offices hours at Monday to Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The office on Winterberry Drive was severely damaged by Hurricane Ian in September 2022. The damage exceeded limits set by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the building will have to be razed and rebuilt, according to a press release from Collier County Tax Collector, Rob Stoneburner.
