PROPERTY: Property taxes are determined by tax rates and assessment ratios which vary by location. The only realistic way to compare property taxes from different locations is to use 'effective tax rates' (tax rate multiplied by assessmen ratio). Effective tax rates combine city, county, school, and state tax rates into one convenient figure -- the annual tax for each $1000 of property at its fair market value. This rate applies to all property: land, buildings, machinery, equipment, and inventory. | Effective Rates: | | City | | Year | | Within City | | Outside City | | McDonough | | 2007 | | $15.03 | | $15.00 | | Stockbridge | | 2007 | | $15.00 | | $15.00 |
| | SALES: City and county have 3% local sales tax in addition to the 4% state sales tax. |
