Chatham County Tax Commissioner to Host Information Sessions on Assessment Notices and Appeals
SAVANNAH, Ga. – The local Tax Commissioner’s office in the Chatham County is taking an initiative to help residents by educating them about critical tax assessment notices and the process of filing an appeal. This initiative will be executed through two sessions scheduled to take place on Wednesday, May 29, at the Coastal Georgia Center (305 Fahm St.).
Understanding Assessment Notices and Filling An Appeal
These tuning informative sessions are set to cover the intricacies of understanding an assessment notice and the process for filing an appeal. Both these sessions are scheduled at two different timings. One will be conducted at 10 a.m. and the other at 6 p.m. to accommodate the availability of the residents.
Part of the ‘Tax Commissioner University’ Series
The motive behind these sessions stems from the ongoing “Tax Commissioner University” series, which is a joint effort by the Tax Commissioner’s Office and Board of Assessors Office. Chatham County’s Tax Commissioner, Sonya L. Jackson, issued a press statement, highlighting how honored they are to host these informative quarterly sessions.
According to Jackson, these events aim to enlighten residents on a diverse range of topics that shed light not just on property tax exemptions but also touch on sensitive issues like wills, estates, and the probate court. The statement by the commissioner emphasized transparency and inclusivity to educate Chatham County’s inhabitants on these essential topics.
Future Sessions
Sharing future plans, the Tax Commissioner’s Office disclosed plans for more pertinent sessions including one on property tax sales set for July 24 and another session to talk about Wills, Estates, and Probate Court scheduled for October 23.
To register for the upcoming Wednesday’s session, residents can visit the Tax Commissioner’s official website. It also hosts more details about the scheduled sessions, information on the topics to be covered, and a provision to register all interested participants.
With this step, Chatham County’s Tax Commissioner’s Office is offering residents a golden opportunity to learn and understand tax laws and procedures directly from the experts. Chances like these ensure people are knowledgeable about their rights, laws, and procedures that directly affect them, leading to better understanding and sense of ownership among the community.
All citizens are encouraged to make the most of these scheduled sessions to understand the tax-related aspects that are crucial for homeowners and residents of the county. By embracing transparency and spreading knowledge, Chatham County administration sets a laudable example for communities around the country.
