🏠 Have a Mortgage Escrow Account? You Will Still Receive a Property Tax Bill

Georgia law requires our office to mail the property tax bill to the property owner of record—even when a mortgage company is expected to pay the taxes through an escrow account.

Receiving a bill does not necessarily mean you must make the payment yourself. The bill mailed to you is provided for your records and allows you to review the property information, exemptions, credits, and amount due.

If your property taxes are paid through escrow:

âś… Do not submit a duplicate payment.

âś… Contact your mortgage company if you are unsure whether it will pay the bill.

âś… Confirm that payment is made by the deadline.

Property owners are ultimately responsible for ensuring that their property taxes are paid on time. You may monitor your account and payment status at newtoncountytax.com.

The 2026 property tax deadline is November 15, 2026. Because that date falls on a Sunday, payments will be accepted without interest through Monday, November 16, 2026.

📬 2026 PROPERTY TAX BILLS HAVE BEEN MAILED!

The Newton County Tax Commissioner’s Office is pleased to announce that 2026 property tax bills have been mailed and are now available online for viewing and payment!

💻 You don’t have to wait for your bill to arrive in the mail.
Visit www.newtoncountytax.com today to:

âś… View your 2026 property tax bill
âś… Make a payment online
âś… Begin making partial payments toward your balance

đź“… IMPORTANT: NEW PROPERTY TAX DEADLINE

Beginning with the 2026 tax year, the annual property tax due date has changed from December 20 to November 15.

Because November 15 falls on a Sunday this year, taxpayers may make their payment through Monday, November 16, 2026, without penalties or interest being charged.

🏠 HOMEOWNERS: LOOK FOR YOUR HTRG CREDIT

Eligible homeowners will see a Homeowner Tax Relief Grant (HTRG) credit applied to their 2026 property tax bill.

Because of this state legislature approved and funded credit, most homesteaded property owners will see a reduction in their 2026 property tax bill compared to last year.

The amount of the HTRG credit varies depending on the taxing jurisdiction where the property is located and the applicable millage rates.

The HTRG credit is separate from your regular Homestead or Senior Exemptions and is a one-time credit for the 2026 tax year.

💰 DON’T WAIT UNTIL NOVEMBER!

Payments are being accepted NOW, and partial payments are always accepted. Taxpayers who would benefit from spreading their payments out are encouraged to start early.

🏡 COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT IN ACTION

Last night, Tax Commissioner Brent Bennett had the pleasure of speaking with residents of the Fairview Estates HOA as part of our office’s ongoing commitment to community engagement, education, and outreach.

During the meeting, Commissioner Bennett discussed the role of the Tax Commissioner’s Office, our goals for serving Newton County taxpayers, recent office improvements and changes, and important information regarding 2026 property tax billing.

We believe that providing excellent service goes beyond the walls of our offices. It also means getting out into the community, answering questions, sharing information, and helping taxpayers better understand the services we provide.
