Macon-Bibb County Tax Assessors mail out assessment notices

If you own a home in Macon-Bibb County, your property taxes may be going up soon.

MACON, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) — If you own a home in Macon-Bibb County, your property taxes may be going up soon.

The Macon-Bibb County Board of Tax Assessors mailed out its annual notices to all taxpayers on June 4. The notices will be mailed to the owner of record as of the valuation date, January 1, 2024.

Changes to tax laws require that all property owners be provided information annually as to the valuation, assessment, and estimated taxes.

The 2024 notices will include valuation changes that are primarily related to market driven adjustments, new construction, improvements, or land splits.

While the notices contain an estimate of taxes owed on each property, these estimates are based on the 2023 millage rates and exemptions as required by law; the actual taxes owed on a property may change from the estimate provided in the notice due to final approval of the millage rates by the Macon-Bibb County Commissioners and the Board of Education as well as any exemptions on the property.

The notices advise that property owners may appeal a property’s valuation by filing a written appeal within 45 days of receipt of the notices. Property owners are not required to take any action in response to the notices unless they so choose.
