Property tax payments due in 10 business days

Final payments for real and personal property taxes in Decatur for 2015 are due by December 21. Payments can be made online at www.decaturgatax.com by credit card with a convenience surcharge or by e-check with no extra fees.  Taxpayers should be aware that e-checks, like paper checks, generally take three to five days to clear the bank. It is not an immediate debit like online credit card transactions. Considering the clearing period, e-check payers are encouraged to pay at least five days prior to our formal payment deadline to help prevent any last-minute stress over whether your payment was received on time.
