The local community has rallied behind Scenic Walton’s mission to enhance beauty and safety in Walton County with local residents registering for over 3,000 of the newly available charity license plates in advance of their distribution. $25 from each initial sale and ongoing renewal fee goes directly to nonprofit Scenic Walton.
Leigh Moore, Executive Director of Scenic Walton, emphasized that all funds are dedicated to the pursuit of projects throughout Walton County, not just the beach areas. The organization focuses on improving median landscaping, promoting underground utilities, and expanding infrastructure for pedestrians and cyclists. These initiatives aim to create a safer and more attractive environment for residents and visitors alike.
“Not everyone that signed up for a plate during the pre-sale period has picked up their plate yet. We want to make sure they know they are ready! If they signed up for a pre-sale voucher, there is no physical voucher. All they have to do is go to any Florida Tax Collector’s Office and let them know they signed up. They will look them up in their system and give them their plate,” says Moore.
The plate is available throughout the state of Florida. You can get yours at any tax collector office or online. “It’s an easy way to support our countywide mission,” says Moore. Each specialty license plate initially costs $66.90 at a tax collector’s office and $72.35 online (including a $5.45 shipping fee) the first year, with an annual renewal fee of $30 thereafter.
The Walton County Tax Collector’s offices have the plates in stock. Citizens with a car, RV, trailer, or golf cart/LSV registered in Florida can pick up their plate in person there or order online. To learn how to order your plate online, visit Scenic Walton’s website at scenic.org/walton-plate.
