The 'Governor's Tax Credit' for homestead property was NOT funded by the State legislature for 2009 which will result in an increase on your 2009 tax bill between $77.04 and $228.24 (depending on other exemptions you have or whether your Property is located within the city limits).  You can determine the exact amount your tax bill will increase in 2009 on this web site by locating the 'Homeowners Tax Credit' amount deducted on your 2008 tax bill.  If your taxes are paid from an escrow account through your mortgage lender, you may want to notify them so the escrow payment amount can be adjusted accordingly.    If you have questions regarding your property appeal, please click here.

The Property Tax Division of the Tax Commissioner's Office is located at 736 Whitlock Avenue, Marietta, Georgia about 1 mile west of the Square of Marietta. The division employs a staff of 35 who are responsible for billing, collecting and disbursing ad valorem property taxes, administering homestead exemptions and the levy of property for delinquent taxes. Taxable property includes real estate, public utilities, tangible personal property (boats, airplanes and business inventory), heavy duty equipment, motor vehicles, timber and mobile homes.

This division collects and disburses public utility and real/personal property taxes not only for the county but also for the state, school board and CIDs.

Mobile home and heavy duty taxes are collected not only for the county, state, school board and CIDs but for all six municipalities (Acworth, Smyrna, Kennesaw, Powder Springs, Marietta and Austell).
