Revenue - Property Tax Unit - Tax Commissioners' Final Accounting Files

 Series
Identifier: 034-06-026

Scope and Contents

This series contains the annual final and/or informal audit reports, or extracts from them, on the condition of the tax digests of the 159 county tax collectors or commissioners in Georgia and accompanying correspondence. The formal reports are identical to those submitted by Certified Public Accounting firms throughout the nation. The informal reports, on the other hand, are submitted on yellow ledger paper in pencil. The correspondence usually deals with settling discrepancies in totals between the version in the Property Tax Unit in Atlanta and that maintained in the county court house. Sometimes when a discrepancy is discovered, a Recording Tax form is employed which indicates six categories of tax revenues and the grand total with a notation that distribution be made on the entire total without showing any deductions.
