Chattooga County Tax Commissioner Kathy Brown told AM 1180 on Thursday that her office is not taking credit cards.  The tax commissioner said that because of a change in the bank’s policy, her office was no longer able to take credit cards for payments for tags or taxes due. 

The bank that the tax commissioner’s office was using to process the credit card said that they were no longer able to absorb the fees charged by the credit card companies.  Tax Commissioner Brown said that she is working to find a solution to the problem, and hopes to have credit card processing capabilities by the time property taxes come due in December.

In the meantime, the tax office does take personal checks for tag and tax payments.
