Selling in Macon, GA: what is local

What's different about selling a house in Macon, GA

Macon, GA and Bibb County consolidated in 2014 into Macon-Bibb County, with one tax commissioner and one countywide rate. Water is a separate authority, and permits come from the building and fire safety department.

Macon-Bibb County

When Macon and Bibb County consolidated and became Macon-Bibb County, new departments were created. The Macon-Bibb Tax Commissioner bills, collects, and distributes property taxes for the consolidated government.

Permits

Macon-Bibb requires a building permit for any construction that exceeds $2,500. Permit records for past work are part of what a buyer will ask to see.

Water is an independent authority

The Macon Water Authority operates as an independent, autonomous public water utility. Close the water account with the authority directly.

Renting before you sell

Anyone engaged in business in Macon-Bibb, including renting property, must obtain an occupation tax certificate. If the house has been a rental, have that record ready.
