Cobb 2022 tax bills due

The Cobb Tax Commissioner’s Office has mailed out 2022 property tax bills that are due by Oct. 15.

According to a release issued by Cobb government on Monday, those include 267,850 tax bills and total $1.099 billion for county services, special tax districts and the Cobb County School District.

Of those bills, 252,206 are for real property coming to $1.027 billion, while 15,644 personal property bills add up to $72 million.

The chart below breaks down anticipated collections in each category; roughly two-thirds of the receipts are for schools, followed by the Cobb government general fund and Cobb fire services.

The Cobb tax digest grew by 12.3 percent in 2022, according to the Cobb tax assessor’s office, with much of that due to rising assessments.

Cobb commissioners recently passed a fiscal year budget of $1.2 billion that becomes effective Oct. 1. They kept the general fund millage rate at 8.46 mills but raised the fire fund from 2.86 to 2.99 mills.

The Cobb school board adopted a fiscal 2023 budget of $1 billion that went into effect on July 1, maintaining the previous millage rate of 18.9 mills.

For a $500,000 home assessed at $200,000, the estimated tax bill is a little more than $5,500, with nearly $3,600 of that amount in school taxes and nearly $1,400 for the county general fund.
