Fulton County’s 2019 payable 2020 tax statements will be mailed April 14^th.  You will see that the tax bills will look different this year.  You will need to use the appropriate spring or fall coupon when making your payments.  If you are paying for the whole year at once, you can pay with one check but please send us both the spring and fall coupons and make sure your check totals both the spring and fall coupons.

The County Annex building is currently closed to the public until further notice.  Please look for updates from the County Commissioners.

Property tax due dates are May 11^th for the spring installment and November 10^th for the fall installment.  Due dates have not changed.  Please make every effort to pay on-time.  We are aware that the Governor has indicated late penalties will be delayed until July 10^th.  We have not received final details on this from the state yet.  There are many questions and concerns that have not been finalized relating to the penalty delay.

It is understood that this is a difficult time for everyone, every household, every business and every government entity.  Your property taxes provide funding for many government and public entities that must continue to have proper funding to provide the public services that are needed for all of us.  Paying on-time is important.
