Clarke County Property Tax Filings Due Monday
February 25, 2010
Monday is the deadline for Clarke County property owners to file forms that could drop the taxes they pay on their homes and businesses.
Property tax returns are a method of appealing the taxable value of land and buildings. By filing a return, owners tell tax assessors what they think the property is worth.
"That's one thing that's happening a lot now, is that people want to appeal the value of the property," Clarke County Tax Commissioner Nancy Denson said.
After a return is filed, assessors decide whether they agree or disagree with the value the owner places on the property. If they disagree, they send the owner an assessment.
Monday also is the deadline for Clarke County residents to file for homestead exemptions, a tax break on owner-occupied houses. Homeowners who already have a homestead exemption do not need to reapply. For more info, CLICK HERE to read this Athens Banner-Herald article.
