Hall County property owners have the option to pay taxes in two installments starting with the 2011 tax year. The Hall County Board of Commissioners voted Nov. 11, 2010, to change from one to two due dates, following the results of a referendum by the voters on Nov. 3, 2010.
The Tax Commissioner will mail a tax bill on Aug. 1 that includes two payment coupons. The first installment will be due Oct. 1, at which time at least half of the total must be paid. Late payments accrue interest of 1-percent per month. The remainder is due Dec. 1. If the entire amount is not paid by Dec. 1, a 10-percent penalty will be charged after 90 days, in addition to 1-percent interest per month.
Penalties and interest for Hall County property taxes are set by state law. The Oct. 1 due date will be mandatory for Hall County taxpayers.
Credit card payments are accepted as a convenience for Hall County customers. Transactions made with Visa®, Mastercard® and Discover® Credit Cards will be assessed a 2.59% convenience fee.
Effective March 31, 2010 for online payments only, all Visa® Debit Card transactions will be assessed a flat fee of $3.95 for payments up to $1,199.99. Any Visa® Debit Card transaction that exceeds $1,200.00 will be assessed 2.59% for the total transaction amount.
These fees are regulated by the credit card companies and are paid directly to the credit card companies. All fees charged are for the use of the card service and fees are not collected by Hall County.
Taxpayers can avoid this fee by paying with a personal check or a reduced fee by paying online with an e-check for $1.99.
E-check/Automated Clearinghouse (ACH) payments use your checking account to process a payment. You will need to provide your bank's rounting number and your checking account number during the payment process.
Hall County does not collect personal or financial information through the payment interface, and abides by all provisions of the Privacy Policy.
