Approximately 4,300 tax statements for owners of non-homesteaded mobile and manufactured homes in Hall County were mailed on February 1, the tax commissioner’s office announced Friday. Tax Commissioner Darla Eden issued a reminder that state law dictates that these taxes must be paid by April 1.
HALL CO. TAX COMMISSIONER NEWS RELEASE:
“Georgia (Senate Bill) 193, enacted in 2022, removed the requirement for mobile home
owners to display a decal showing proof of tax payment.
Eden continues to encourage residents to take advantage of the office’s
convenient payment options, noting that online services help taxpayers save a
trip and skip the line. Paying online at HallCountyTax.org is a quick and secure
way to ensure payments are received on time.
Online payment methods include ECheck ($1.50 flat fee), PayPal and PayPal
Credit (2.49% fee), debit cards (1.5% fee), and credit cards (2.49% fee). PayPal
Credit is available for eligible residents, providing a same-as-cash option that is
interest-free for six months if paid in full. Terms and conditions may apply.
Another option is payment by mail, using the pay slip and return envelope
provided with the statement. Payments should be sent to P.O. Box 1579,
Gainesville, GA, 30503. Individuals may also pay via the secure, 24/7 drive-up
drop box located under the breezeway across from the entrance to the Hall
County Government Center at 2875 Browns Bridge Road.
If you prefer, professional agents in the office’s Customer Interaction Center are
ready to assist with credit, debit, and eCheck payments over the phone at
770.531.6950. Payments may also be made in person. Appointments are
preferred. Visit hallcountytax.org/appointments.
For in-person, drop box, mailed, or phone-in payments, credit and debit card
payments incur a 2.19% merchant fee. There are no fees for checks or cash.
Current mobile homeowners should be aware of their responsibilities regarding
ownership changes. When a mobile home is sold, the ownership change must be
recorded on the title and updated in county tax records.
Purchasers have 30 days from the date of purchase to apply for a new title to
avoid penalties. A receipt of property taxes paid and a title fee of $18 are
required to transfer the title. A $10 late fee will apply if the application is not
made within 30 days of purchase.
