Chattooga County property owners have just nine days left to pay their 2025 property taxes. Earlier this year, Chattooga County Commissioner Andy Allen and Tax Commissioner Joy Hampton announced that the deadline would be extended to Tuesday, December 10, 2025, giving residents extra time after a delay in the mailing of tax bills.

Tax bills were sent to print vendors in late September and expected to arrive in mailboxes during the first week of October. The extension was granted to ensure homeowners had enough time to receive their statements and make payments without penalty.

County officials are reminding residents that it is the taxpayer’s responsibility to submit payment by the deadline, even if a paper bill was not received. Failure to pay by December 10 may result in interest and penalties on outstanding balances.

Property taxes can be paid several ways:
• Online at chattoogacountytax.com
• In person at the Tax Commissioner’s Office
• By mail, with the USPS postmark serving as proof of timely payment
• Night drop box, available for after-hours payments

Residents with questions or concern about their bill or mailing address are encouraged to contact the Chattooga County Tax Commissioner’s Office directly.

With the December 10 deadline approaching, county officials urge property owners to plan now to avoid last-minute issues or penalties.
