Property tax season is upon us, and the Hall County Tax Commissioner's Office is preparing to issue approximately 87,000 tax statements for real and personal property. The 2018 Hall County property tax statements are scheduled for mailing Sept. 14 and are due Nov. 15.
In a concerted effort to save the time and resources of citizens, the Hall County Tax Commissioner's Office offers five ways to pay. Utilizing the enhanced website, making online payments at hallcountytax.org is the preferred method. Another option is payment by mail, using the return envelope provided with the statement, to P.O. Box 1579, Gainesville, GA 30503. Dedicated clerks are ready to assist you in the call center with credit and debit card payments at 770.531.6950. Citizens may also visit the office or utilize the drop box located in front of the main doors of the Hall County Government Center, located at 2875 Browns Bridge Road, Gainesville, GA 30504.
For properties that changed ownership during the year, in general, whoever owns a property on Jan. 1 of each year is responsible for that year's property tax. If property is purchased/sold (changes ownership) after Jan. 1, it is the responsibility of the buyer and seller to negotiate or determine who will pay the owed tax by the due date. Please refer to the closing documents or the closing attorney to determine tax liability for the current year.
For properties that have a property tax escrow account associated with their mortgage, our office makes available the amounts due. Payments are accepted electronically and posted daily. It is ultimately the responsibility of the property owner to ensure tax is paid.
The Hall County Tax Commissioner website hallcountytax.org has up-to-date information on property tax payments on all parcels.
The Hall County Tax Commissioner's Office is open to the public Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. If there are any questions or if assistance is needed, please contact the Hall County Tax Commissioner's Office by phone at 770-531-6950, fax to 770-531-7111 or email propertytax@hallcounty.org.
