Tax bills are on their way in the mail. Tax Commissioner Nicole Scurry says the bills, mailed last Thursday, have an expected due date of Dec. 20.
Tailored Business Systems (TBS), based in Statesboro, handles printing and mailing of the approximately 12,000 bills for the county, cities and school board.
The county also mails notices for the school board and the cities of Blackshear and Patterson.
Tax bills will see millage rates for all local governments decrease over last year. The county millage rate will be 9.784 mills, down from 10.397 last year. The school board millage will be 12.953 mills compared to last year’s rate of 13.951 mills. The City of Patterson’s millage rate will decrease from 7.9072 mills last yeear to 7.235 this year and Blackshear’s millage rate for this year is 8.085 mills down from 8.664 mills.
Scurry says some taxpayers will also receive a relief grant this year.
Governor Kemp gave a one-time property tax relief grant for homesteaded properties for 2026. Those bills will see a reduction for 2026.
