Tax bills are billed or levied in the fall of each tax year for the period of January 1 through December 31 of that year.
Taxes are generated on property values that are determined by the Cobb County Tax Assessor’s Office.
Exemptions are available to help reduce the amount of annual property taxes after certain eligibility requirements are met.

Please note this important information about the Tax Credit for Homestead Properties!
The Tax Relief Grant enacted by the General Assembly of Georgia which has awarded a tax credit to homeowners in the past was not funded in the 2009 or 2010 budget. The elimination of this credit affects the entire state of Georgia - it is not a Kennesaw decision.
In 1999, funds were appropriated giving tax relief to homeowners in the form of a tax bill credit. According to legislation passed this year, the grant will only be made available in the future if state revenues grow at least 3% (plus the rate of inflation).
If you have additional questions, please contact the City property tax administrator.
