Chattooga County Tax Commissioner Joy Hampton says that her office was busy on Thursday and Friday as Chattooga County property owners came to pay their 2023 property taxes.  Normally, those taxes would have been due in December of last year, but because of the large number of appeals, the due date was pushed forward to March 1, 2024.  Hampton says that she will not be assessing any penalties or interest on the property tax bills for “a few days”, to allow time for mail to come in.  Hampton encourages property owners to come in next week and get their 2023 property taxes paid if they received their tax bill in December or January.  She says that property owners who still have property under appeal will not have to pay those tax bills until their appeal is settled by the Chattooga County Tax Assessors Office.
