Gwinnett is reminding homeowners that 2019 property tax bills are due Oct. 15. Taxpayers may pay online at www.GwinnettTaxCommissioner.com/pay.

Paying online with an e-check is simple, secure and incurs no added convenience fee. Paying with debit card incurs a flat $3.95 fee and credit cards incur a 2.25 percent fee.

Payments mailed to P.O. Box 372, Lawrenceville, GA 30046 must be postmarked no later than Oct. 15. Checks may be placed in drop boxes 24/7 at any tag office. Payments in person via cash, check, money order, debit card or credit card may be made during business hours at any Gwinnett County Tax Commissioner’s Office.

Property owners with escrow accounts are responsible for making sure their mortgage company pays the taxes by the due date. Payments can be verified online at www.GwinnettTaxCommissioner.com/ViewPayYourTaxes.

For property owners who sold their homes this year, tax bills are mailed to both the former and current owners. Owners as of Jan. 1 are responsible for the current year’s taxes, so sellers should monitor their accounts to ensure taxes are paid.
