Grady County Property Tax Due Date

Payment & Assessment

Georgia property tax due dates vary by county, but December 20 is the most common deadline statewide. Some counties use November 15 or other dates — always check with your county tax commissioner for the exact due date in your area. Late penalty: A 5% penalty is added immediately after the due date, with an additional 1% interest charge per month until paid. Unpaid taxes become subject to a tax lien and can eventually lead to a tax sale. Most Georgia counties offer online payment through the county tax commissioner's website. Payment by mail, in person, and in some counties by phone or drop box is also available. If your mortgage lender escrows your taxes, verify that payment has been made — you remain legally responsible for any unpaid balance.
