The Macon-Bibb County Board of Tax Assessors will be mailing state-mandated annual notices to all Bibb County taxpayers on May 16, 2014. The notices will be mailed to the owner of record as of the valuation date, January 1, 2014. Changes to tax laws resulting from Senate Bill 346 require that all property owners be provided information annually as to the valuation, assessment, and estimated taxes that will be owed on their properties.
The annual assessment notices that include valuation increases are primarily related to improvements, new construction, land splits, or areas where sales warrant such a change. The annual assessments notices that were decreased were based on sales that occurred during 2013. While the notices contain an estimate of taxes owed on each property, these estimates are based on the 2013 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 consolidation of the governments.
The notices advise that property owners may appeal a property’s valuation as provided in the notices 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. Please visit our website at www.bibbassessors.com for more information.
