The Tax Commissioner is an elected Constitutional Office responsible for every phase of collecting property taxes from processing property Homestead Exemption applications through preparation of the digest, billing, accounting and disbursements.
Property taxes include those assessed on real estate, public utilities, motor vehicles and mobile homes. Timber tax is also collected by this office. These collections are disbursed to school and local governing authorities. As a tag agent for the stat of Georgia, the Tax Commissioner is also responsible for the collections of all fees, penalties and lapse insurance fees for motor vehicles applicable under the Georgia Code.
