The goal of the survey is to help focus our efforts on the most critical local housing concerns and to carefully examine the area’s supply and demand for housing to determine existing and future needs. 

The survey is open to all employees that work in Towns County, all residents of Towns County, and people that are wishing to work or live in Towns County.

Thank you for your help.

Awesome Project!!   

Here's a recap....Start to Finish

One of the two 2020 Tax Notices has been sent out.  These notices show the Tax due for the County, School, and Fire Dept.  This bill DOES NOT include City Tax amounts.  The City is transitioning the Bill mailings and collections from the County Offices.   The City of Hiawassee Bills will be sent out shortly.  The City Bill will only contain City Tax revenue due.   The City millage rate is  .002067 which was the Roll Back amount. The City bills will be sent out shortly and will have a due date of January 20th instead of January 10th shown for the County. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we transition this project to the City.city of Hiawassee Tax bill exampleTowns County tax bill example
