Mableton approves tax payment extension for seniors facing hardship

Mableton officials have approved a payment plan giving seniors and residents facing financial hardship until April 5 to pay the city’s public safety property tax. The plan extends the original December 4 deadline and waives late fees, but interest will still accrue and the full balance remains due. The assessment is about $630 for a home valued at $350,000. FOX 5 Atlanta reported the council’s decision.
