Residents of Chattooga County are advised that the 2024 property tax bills have been mailed out. The due date for these bills is set for December 3, 2024, so property owners should make plans ensure timely payment.

Those who sold a property during the year should note that they will still receive the tax bill as of January 1st ownership. It’s essential to forward this bill to the new owner to avoid any confusion or late fees.

Even if you have an escrow account that pays your taxes, the county will still mail you a tax bill. This is to ensure that all property owners are aware of their tax responsibilities, regardless of their payment method.

It’s important to remember that the deadline to appeal your property value has passed; any appeals must have been filed by July. If you are struggling to pay your property tax in full, the county allows for partial payments throughout the year.

Another critical point to consider is the absence of the homestead tax relief that was available last year. This one-time reduction is not applicable for 2024, meaning some homeowners may see an increase in their tax bills of up to $300.

Stay proactive about your property taxes to ensure you remain compliant and avoid penalties as the end-of-year deadline approaches.
