Cobb Property Tax bills

Probably not the news you want at the start of the week, but the Cobb Tax Commissioner’s Office has sent out a reminder that your 2020 property tax bill has been mailed, and it’s due on Oct. 15.

Tax Commissioner Carla Jackson says 265,052 tax bills in unincorporated Cobb County have been mailed. The $938,326,283 collection total was calculated with 249,678 Real Property bills for $869,994,540 and 15,374 Personal Property bills for $68,331,743.

The biggest part of your bill as indicated above is school taxes—unless you’re taking the senior exemption—at nearly 58 percent, followed by the general fund. Cobb’s six cities levy and collect property taxes from homeowners and businesses in those municipalities.

Bills can be paid online via e-check, debit or credit card at the Cobb Tax Commissioners website, by phone at 1-866-PAY-COBB. If you choose to send via, regular mail, the address is Cobb County Tax Commissioner, PO Box 100127, Marietta, GA 30061.

Bills also can be dropped off at designated drop boxes around the county, including the East Cobb Government Service Center (4400 Lower Roswell Road).
