Look for Property Tax Bill in the Mail Soon

Sigh. I am the bearer of bad news yet again.

"The Tax Commissioner will mail 2008 property tax bills by July 15.
As in the past, only one bill will be mailed and will include payment
coupons and reply envelopes for both installment payments. First
installment amounts shown on tax bills must be paid by September
15 or taxpayers may pay the entire amount by this date. The balance
must be paid by the second installment date of November 15.
Installments not paid by the due dates will incur a five percent penalty. In
addition, interest will begin to accrue on any unpaid amount at one
percent per month beginning November 16.

Tax payments may be made on the Tax Commissioner’s TaxTalk 24
line at 770.822.8800 or by credit card or e-check over the Internet
at www.GwinnettTaxCommissioner.com (convenience fees will be
applied for credit card transactions over the Internet).

Customers may also pay in person at the main property tax office
in the Gwinnett Justice and Administration Center in Lawrenceville
or one of the Tax Commissioner’s five motor vehicle tag branch offices.
Tag office locations will only process property tax payments
and provide receipts to taxpayers, while the main property tax office
will continue to process payments, and assist with all other property
tax-related transactions. In addition, each tag office has a payment
drop-off location for check-only payments accessible at any time."
