Effective June 1, 2023, all residents of Suwannee County are required to present a 2023 Solid Waste Decal (Resolution No. 2022-28) for entrance into any county Collection Site Facility.  All property owners with assessed dwelling(s) on their property are receiving two (2) decal(s) per assessment.  Your assessment information can be found in the “Non-Ad Valorem” section of your 2022 property tax bill, which was mailed by the Suwannee County Tax Collector’s Office in November. You may also visit their website site at https://suwtax.com/  to view your tax bill. 

The issuance of the decal(s), is to ensure appropriate county residents are permitted access to Collection Site Facilities and to minimize the unauthorized use of the facilities.
