It’s that time of year all homeowners look forward to! Well, not really.
The City of Marietta Finance Department announced on the city’s website that 2024 property tax bills have been issued.
The bills include both the amount due the city, and Marietta City Schools taxes.
Paper copies of your bill should be delivered over the next week, but given the significant issues with the U.S. Postal Service, a safer bet might be to view your bill online at https://www.mariettaga.gov/381/Tax-Division.
Payments may be made online (recommended), in person or via mail (although the city advises against sending via USPS because of “Due to recent challenges in mail delivery”:
Here are your options:
