2023 TAX ASSESMENT NOTICE

July 18, 2023

Important Information:

The Schley County Tax Assessor’s Office has mailed the Notices of Assessment (NOAs) for tax year 2023. This gives notice of the fair market value of your property for 2023 as determined by the Tax Assessor’s Office according to market value and regulations set by the Georgia Department of Revenue.

The Tax Assessor’s office is also required to “ESTIMATE” the amount of taxes due with this fair market value on the previous NOA. They are required by law to use the PREVIOUS year’s millage rate – as the current year’s millage rate has not yet been established.

If you have any questions regarding this Notice of Assessment you will need to contact the Schley County Tax Assessor’s Office either in person at the address listed on the NOA or by telephone at 229-937-9169. THE DEADLINE FOR FILING AN APPEAL IS AUGUST 28, 2023.

Please remember the TAX COMMISSIONER’S OFFICE will be unable to assist you with these Notices of Assessment as our office is only responsible for the billing, collection, and disbursement of property taxes once the official tax bill has been mailed.

IF YOU HAVE A PENDING APPEAL FROM 2022 PLEASE READ BELOW:

Once your appeal from 2022 has been completed the changes will apply to your 2023 value, so you do not have to or need to file an appeal for 2023. If you desire to file an appeal for 2023, you may do so, but it is not necessary. The 2023 appeal would negate the application of the three-year freeze in accordance with 48-5-299(c).

Please feel free to reach out to our Tax Assessor Joe Wright at 229-937-9169.

If you have any questions regarding billing, collection, and disbursement please let me know.
