Residents and property owners within the City of Baldwin are reminded that 2025 property tax payments are due by March 9, 2026.
The City Clerk serves as the designated tax collector for the City of Baldwin, and all property owners within city limits are required to pay an annual Ad Valorem property tax. The tax rate is established each year by Baldwin’s elected officials.
2025 Millage Rates
For the 2025 tax year, the millage rates are:
- 11.990 for properties in Habersham County
- 7.720 for properties in Banks County
Property taxes are calculated based on 40% of the assessed fair market value of the property.
How Property Taxes Are Calculated
Formula:
Property Tax = Fair Market Value × 40% × (Millage Rate ÷ 1000)
Example:
For a property with a fair market value of $125,000 located in Habersham County:
$125,000 × 40% × 11.990 ÷ 1000 = $599.50
Important Reminder
Property tax payments are due 60 days from the date bills are released. City officials stress that not receiving a tax bill does not exempt property owners from penalties or interest if payment is made after the due date.
Tools and Assistance
Property owners can estimate their tax amount using the City’s FY 2025 Property Tax Calculator, which is available through the City of Baldwin.
City officials encourage residents to review their bills carefully and submit payments before the deadline to avoid additional fees.
For questions regarding property taxes, residents should contact the City of Baldwin Clerk’s Office directly.
