Tax commissioner moves to write off property tax records older than seven years under state law; board approves

MILLER COUNTY, Ga. — The Miller County tax commissioner asked the board July 14 to adopt a resolution authorizing write‑offs of property‑tax records older than seven years in accordance with state law; commissioners approved the resolution. The tax office explained that a new software conversion can surface older records that appear unpaid because earlier payments were not properly posted to the system. The tax commissioner said state law directs staff to write off tax records seven years or older in such cases and presented a draft resolution to formalize the action for the county minutes. Commissioners discussed whether notification was needed; staff said the action is a state requirement and that the resolution is mostly a transparency step to document the office’s work. The board moved to adopt the resolution and approved it by voice vote. Staff said they would proceed with the write‑offs and report back if specific cases required further investigation or collection efforts.
