Cobb County Tax Commissioner Carla Jackson said that 2026 property tax bills have been issued following the review and approval of the county’s tax digest by the Georgia Department of Revenue.
Payments are due October 15, 2026, and must be received by the Tax Commissioner’s Office or by USPS, postmarked by the due date, to be considered on time.
A total of 270,574 tax bills representing $1,363,609,369 were calculated for 2026. This includes 256,894 real property bills totaling $1,268,654,750 and 13,680 personal property bills totaling $94,954,619. For 2026, Cobb County property owners should be aware of two important tax-related updates.
First, the State of Georgia has applied the Homeowner Tax Relief Grant, providing property tax relief to qualifying homeowners. This is separate from other homestead exemptions and is reflected as a reduction on eligible property tax bills.
Second, property owners who receive a homestead exemption for which they are no longer eligible are required to notify the Tax Commissioner’s Office. Taxpayers who fail to report their ineligibility may be subject to a penalty.
The Tax Commissioner’s Office bills and collects property taxes for the Cobb County Board of Commissioners and the Cobb County School District. The seven cities of Cobb bill and collect their own property taxes.
