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.
