Chattooga County Tax Commissioner Joy Hampton 2024 tax bills are ready and expected to hit mailboxes in the next couple of weeks. The due date for 2024 tax bills is December 3, 2024. There are close to 300 bills under appeal with the property assessors, and Hampton says temporary 85% bills have been sent out for those. Adjusted bills will be sent once the tax commissioner’s office receives notice that an appeal has been finalized.

Tax Commissioner Hampton told WZQZ News, “In 2023, tax bills with a homestead exemption received a credit from the Governor of up to (approximately) $409.00 for the homestead tax relief grant. Unfortunately, this credit is not available for 2024. While the taxes levied will be less for most residential properties this year, taxpayers may see an increase close to $300 over last year’s bill even if no change was made on the assessment. Homestead exemptions are still applied, but the grant is not going to apply to those bills this year”.

2024 Chattooga County Property Tax bills are due December 3, 2024.
