Houston County Board of Tax Assessors
NOTICE OF RESIDENTIAL & AGRICULTURAL REVALUATION

The appraisal staff of the Houston County Board of Tax Assessors Office have been working on the revaluation of residential and agricultural property in Houston County.

The staff has diligently worked to appraise properties close to the fair market value and based the values on current sales. The market has been constantly increasing since last year when notices were sent to property owners in April 2021.

The appraisal staff are charged with establishing the fair market value of the taxable real and personal properties in Houston County. Fair market value means “the amount a knowledgeable buyer would pay for the property and a willing seller would accept for the property at an arm’s length, bona fide sale.”

The Board of Tax Assessors do not create property values. They rely on the appraisal staff, certified by the Georgia Department of Revenue, to research current fair market sales along with field inspections of the properties.

The values for 2022 will be changing from the 2021 values based on the market and other conditions of the property. The notices will be sent out in late April or early May of 2022.

The Houston County Landfill will remain open for President’s Day on Monday, February 21, 2022. Trash collection will proceed as normal for the week of February 21, 2022 through February 25, 2022.

Questions or concerns should be directed to the Public Works office at 478-987-4299.

ANNUAL FUNDRAISER NOTIFICATION!

For all those living in unincorporated Houston County,

As you may remember, Houston County Fire Department conducts a fundraiser annually by going door to door collecting donations. In previous years this fundraising effort has been a tremendous success due to the amazing generosity of our residents in Houston County. Unfortunately, due to COVID we were unable to conduct this fundraiser in 2021. Although missing a year of fundraising has created adversity for our department, I believe we will come out stronger for it in 2022 with your help.

For our 2022 fundraising efforts we have decided to take a different approach. Instead of going door to door we are sending you this letter and providing multiple methods to donate. All donations go directly to the Fire Department and are used to ensure our firefighters have up to date equipment and training. Some examples of recent purchases include new thermal cameras, medical equipment, fire hose, and washing machines to help remove cancer causing carcinogens from fire gear.

As a way of saying Thank You, we have made special arrangements to provide each supporter with a certificate good for one FREE 10x13 family portrait.

Donations can be made in person or mailed to:
Houston County Fire Department
102 Chief Williams Dr, Kathleen, GA 31047

Donations can also be made online by scanning the QR code below or by the link on our page. All online donations are managed through PayPal. Houston County Fire Department does not receive or store any payment information provided.

Receipts and portrait certificates will be provided for all donations. For mail or online donations, a receipt and portrait certificate will be mailed to the return address provided.

Thank you in advance and for your continued support
