The Tax Assessors Office provides the
following services for Ben Hill County Residents:
The Tax Assessor's Office investigates and values real and personal
property subject to taxation in Ben Hill County.
It is our duty and responsibility to keep up with technology,
changing tax codes, methods, procedures, and local property values
in order to produce an acceptable property tax digest. Counties are
subject to financial penalties if the Georgia Department of Revenue
finds the tax digest deficient.
Our goal is to apply the property tax code fairly and to reflect
goodwill, temperance, and fairness in carrying out our duties.
We pledge to support, encourage, and cooperate with the County
governing authority, the Board of Equalization, and the Tax
Commissioner's Office, which collects and distributes the taxes we
assess. Working together for the common good, our respective
operations use uniform standards in discharging our joint duties.
