Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about property taxes, vehicle tags, payments, exemptions, and county services.
"Vehicle tags can be renewed online, by phone, at local Kroger kiosks, or by visiting one of our office locations."
"Title transfers require a valid Georgia driver’s license or Georgia ID with your current Clayton County address, the current state title, proof of Georgia insurance (30-day binder), and a passing Georgia emissions test. Additional supporting documents may be required depending on the transaction. There is a 7% title ad valorem tax and an $18 title transfer fee. Late fees may be assessed if the title is not transferred within 30 days of the purchase date."
"Tax bill payments can be made online or in the office using cash, check, money order, and credit card. You may also pay your bill using a satellite kiosk or pay by phone."
"Homestead Exemption can help homeowners reduce their property tax bill on a primary residence. If you own and live in your home, you may qualify for a tax exemption that lowers the taxable value of your property. Additional exemptions may be available for qualifying seniors, disabled homeowners, and veterans."
"Homestead exemption applications are open every year between January 1st and April 1st. The last day to apply is April 1st."

"Yes. The basic registration renewal can be done at the Kroger Kiosk. The Riverdale Kiosk also offers Driver License services.”
"Yes."
"Delinquent properties eligible for upcoming tax sales are posted monthly on our website under the Tax Sale tab."
"A property tax lien means the county has a legal claim against a property because property taxes have not been paid. If the taxes remain unpaid, interest and penalties can add up, and the property may eventually be subject to a tax sale. A lien does not mean you immediately lose your home, but the debt must be paid to clear the lien."
