GAINESVILLE - The first installment of Hall County property tax bills is due Oct. 1 but because the due date falls on a Saturday, Tax Commissioner Keith Echols will accept payments postmarked or paid by Monday, Oct. 3.
This is the first year property owners have the option to pay county taxes in two installments. At least half of the total must be received by Oct. 3 to avoid a charge of 1-percent interest per month. Taxpayers will not receive a second bill when the second installment is due Dec. 1.
