Chattooga County Tax Commissioner Joy Hampton has released her annual report for the taxpayers of Chattooga County. Tax Commissioner Hampton said, “In an effort to be as transparent as possible, I have outlined incoming funds and outgoing funds; however, the outside audit performed yearly will have the most detailed accounting of funds. Over 17 million dollars was handled in
my office last year and paid to the levying authorities. The only funds retained by the Tax Commissioner’s Office are the operating amounts needed for change given to customers and a checking account balance to cover returned checks”.
