Governor Ron DeSantis recently signed Senate Bill 676 to help create a new “30A” specialty license plate for Florida motorists. The 30A tags cost $33, with all proceeds being donated to support Scenic Walton, a 501(c)(3) non-profit that promotes projects designed to improve the quality of life in Walton County. Three thousand vouchers must now be sold before Florida’s Department of Motor Vehicles will manufacture the 30A tags. Vouchers can be purchased at www.30Atag.com or at any Florida Tax Collector’s Office. “Money raised by the new tags will help promote beautification and safety projects throughout all of Walton County, not just along the beach,” said Leigh Moore, Scenic Walton’s Executive Director. “We work to improve landscaping in roadway medians, reduce litter, promote underground utilities, expand infrastructure for pedestrians and cyclists, and other projects that enhance the quality of life for Walton County residents and visitors.” The team asked Walton County locals and 30A’s 1.5 million social media fans to help select the final tag design, which was created by Gulf Coast native, Jake Meyer. The winning design depicts the blue 30A logo against a silhouette of Western Lake, one of Walton County’s most famous vistas. “Of course, we have amazing beaches here, as do many Florida towns, but our coastal dune lakes really are unique to Walton County,” said Mike Ragsdale of The 30A Company. “I think our community made an excellent Choice.” “This is the only specialty tag that generates revenue exclusively for community projects here in Walton County,” added Moore. “So everyone who buys an official 30A / Scenic Walton tag for their vehicle will help preserve Walton County’s beauty.”

Florida residents can go to any Tax Collector Office to buy a 30A tag voucher. They can also be purchased online at www.30Atag.com.

Scenic Walton is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that promotes increased property values, a robust business environment and safe and beautiful surroundings by working to preserve, protect, and enhance the beauty of the roadways in Walton County, Florida. For more information, visit www.scenicwalton.org.
