The Tax Division is responsible for the billing and collection of ad valorem taxes on real and personal property.  

Tax assesments are received from Fulton County and billed on September 15th of each year. Payments are due by November 15th and late penalties are assessed monthly. 

Property on which taxes have not been paid are usually sold at auction during the summer. 


Senior Homestead Exemption

Currently, the City provides several exemptions for Handicapped residents as well as
persons age 65 and older.  On the November 4, 2008 ballot a referendum was approved
which provides a full homestead exemption for residents over 65.  In order to qualify for the Senior homestead exemption you must submit a Homestead Exemption Application Form for Senior Citizens. Forms will be available at City Hall and on the city website by March 1, 2009 and must be submitted by August 1, 2009 in order to be eligible for the exemption for 2009.
