The 2023 Gwinnett property tax bills were being mailed starting Thursday, August 10. The bills are due to be paid October 15, says Gwinnett County Tax Commissioner Denise R. Mitchell.
As of August 10, taxpayers will be able to view, print and pay their bills online with an e-check, credit card or debit card at www.GwinnettTaxCommissioner.com/Pay.
Mitchell encourages citizens to pay their property taxes online.
She says: “Paying online with an e-check is safe, secure, easy and free. It is the best way for Gwinnett citizens to pay their property tax bills. It eliminates concerns about mail delivery, the need to stand in line, use gas or look for postage.” Payments made online with debit and credit cards incur added convenience fees. The debit card fee is $3.95. The fee for using credit cards and PayPal is 2.25 percent of the total paid.
Individuals who sold homes this year will still receive a tax bill, along with the buyer – click here to learn why. Although mortgage companies have access to property tax information, owners with tax escrow accounts are responsible for ensuring their taxes are paid on time.
