Although taxes are not anything we like, they are an obligation put upon us in order to fund the essential services we receive in our society. Too many times, people let this obligation slide, and as the years pass, the amount of taxes that have accumulated becomes so high that it is a struggle to get them paid. Unfortunately, that is when action to sell the property at tax sale becomes necessary. A tax sale is the very last thing that I want to schedule, but it is a part of the job. Due to our 2025 taxes and 2026 taxes being billed in the same year, we are going to forego a tax sale in 2026. However, we will have to schedule one in 2027.
I say all that to give our citizens ample time to work on their taxes before the sale in 2027. Please begin now to set up plans to be up-to-date through 2026. My office stands ready to give you any information you may need concerning your balance, etc., or you can go online at https://clinchcountyga.governmentwindow.com to check your balance or make payments.
Thank you so much for your attention to this very important matter.

TIPS TO REMEMBER ABOUT TAGS/INSURANCE......
Whenever you have Georgia based insurance coverage, your insurance company reports directly to the state when coverage starts and when it ends or lapses. If you have an active tag on the vehicle, the state system recognizes that the car is possibly being operated without insurance coverage. You are sent a letter charging you a $25 fine for the lapse, and you must pay it by the deadline on the letter. If you do not respond, the state will suspend your tag and charge you an additional $60 to reinstate it. If your car has been sold or is currently inoperable or parked and you drop your insurance, you need to contact the Tag Office and make your tag inactive until you get ready to get your insurance reinstated, fix the car and put it back on the road. Once coverage is back on the vehicle, you will again need to contact the tag office to reactivate your tag. This needs to be done every time your coverage is dropped to avoid fines and penalties.

LONG POST BUT PLEASE READ TO POSSIBLY SAVE MONEY...
The Georgia Governor and Legislature have again passed the Homestead Tax Relief Grant for the Tax Year 2026. This will give all homeowners significant savings on the 2026 property taxes on their home if they are signed up for homestead exemption. To qualify for homestead, you must own the land and home in which you live, and you must have owned it and resided in it on January 1, 2026. The last time this grant was given, homeowners saved up to $598.70 on their property tax bill. The amount will depend on the millage rate for the year, so don't think this amount is what may be given again this year. Also, this is a one time savings unless it is passed by the Legislature in future years. The Homestead Relief Grant does not apply to rental, commercial or personal property.
If you are not signed up for homestead exemption, you have one more opportunity to sign up for 2026. As soon as you receive your tax assessment notice, which should go out within the next few weeks, you will have a 45 day window in which to go to the Tax Assessor's office and sign up. The deadline will be on the assessment notice. Once the deadline passes, you will not be able to sign up for tax year 2026, and you will miss the chance to receive the extra savings for this year. If you are already signed up for homestead, there is nothing you need to do unless you have moved to a new home and you never signed up at the new home. We all know that property taxes are high, so please do not miss this opportunity to save some money!!
