What is Authorization Agreement for ACH transactions – Manatee County?
The Authorization Agreement for Direct Deposit (ACH Credits) is a one-page agreement in which a certificate holder authorizes the Manatee County Tax Collector's office to initiate credit entries to a named bank account, so that payments reach the holder by direct deposit.
The form collects the details the office needs to route a deposit: the certificate holder's name, the SS or TIN/FEI number, the financial institution, the account number, the account type (checking or savings) and the routing number. A voided check must be attached.
The authorization text sets the terms. If an error occurs, a reversing entry will be made to your account. The authorization takes effect at the time of certificate purchase and stays in full force until the Tax Collector's office has received written notification from you or your representative and has had a reasonable opportunity to act on the change or termination. You remain responsible for telling the office about any change in your bank or account number.
The form ends with a signature block (signature, printed name, phone number and email address) and a declaration made under penalties of perjury. It covers credits only, meaning deposits into your account, and it is not a payment form.
Who needs to file Authorization Agreement for ACH transactions – Manatee County?
The certificate holder who wants the Manatee County Tax Collector's office to pay by direct deposit completes and signs this agreement. The form is written in the first person ("I hereby authorize"), and the holder's name and SS or TIN/FEI number are the first items on it.
Conditions attached to the form:
- You need a bank account at a financial institution, and you must be able to give its routing number, your account number and the account type.
- You must attach a voided check; the form says so in bold print beside the routing number.
- A representative may act for you only in giving written notice of a change or termination: the authorization remains in effect until the office receives written notification from "my representative or me". The form does not say who may sign it on a holder's behalf.
If your bank or account number changes later, you are responsible for notifying the Tax Collector's office. The form does not say it applies to anyone other than a certificate holder.
When to file Authorization Agreement for ACH transactions – Manatee County
The authorization takes effect at the time of certificate purchase, so the agreement is relevant when you buy a certificate and want credits paid to your account. The form prints no separate due date.

Send written notice whenever you change your bank or account number, or when you want to end the direct deposit arrangement. The form makes the notice your responsibility.
Documents you need

How to submit Authorization Agreement for ACH transactions – Manatee County
The form is addressed to the Manatee County Tax Collector's office, but it prints no mailing address, portal, fax number or office hours, so it gives no channel of its own.
- Attach a voided check. The form states that one must be attached. Send it with the signed agreement.
- Confirm the channel with the office. Contact the Manatee County Tax Collector's office through its website, taxcollector.com, to ask where to deliver the signed agreement.
- Send changes in writing. To change or end the authorization, send written notification to the office; the form says the authorization continues until the office receives it and has a reasonable opportunity to act.

Common mistakes to avoid
- Sending the agreement without the voided check; the form says one must be attached.
- Leaving both account-type boxes unmarked instead of checking Checking or Savings.
- Submitting the form unsigned. The authorization rests on the signature and the printed name below it.
- Not telling the Tax Collector's office when your bank or account number changes; the form makes this your responsibility.
- Giving notice of a change or termination orally; the form refers to written notification.
- Entering facts you cannot support, since the declaration says a knowingly false statement is perjury by false written declaration, a third-degree felony.
- Entering a routing or account number that does not match the voided check you attach.
