Mableton seniors, fixed-income residents to get relief on public safety taxes

Mableton’s city council approved a hardship relief program for the public safety special service district tax, offering eligible seniors and residents on fixed incomes flexible payment plans and waivers of late fees. The program does not reduce or eliminate the tax owed. Applicants must attest under oath to a qualifying hardship within the past six months; they will pay 10% of the bill upfront and the remainder in four installments.
