Heading

Dear Taxpayer:
This site was prepared to help you understand your rights and responsibilities as a property owner.   I hope it will be of value to you.

I have attempted to answer frequently asked questions and provide general information on property taxation in Athens-Clarke County, Georgia.  Please remember that I cannot cover the many and complex property tax laws and this site should not be relied on as a legal source of information.  Throughout the site you will see O.C.G.A. followed by a number.  These references are citing from the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, which is available at Athens Regional Library or through the Georgia Department of Revenue's web site:
http://www.legis.state.ga.us/cgi-bin/gl_codes_detail.pl?code=1-1-1

Whether you are a new resident or have been in our county for some time, my goal is to fulfill my responsibility as your tax commissioner in a fair and equitable manner.

My staff and the staff of the Board of Assessors are here to answer your questions and provide the best public service possible.  Please feel free to call on us.

Sincerely,


Mitch Schrader
