About Property Taxes in Turner County, Georgia
Turner's property taxes run well below national levels
Turner County's 1.131% effective rate is less than half the implied national median, placing it firmly in America's lower-tax tier despite ranking among Georgia's higher rates. The median property tax of just $1,077 is 60% below the national median of $2,690, reflecting Turner's very low median home value of $95,200. This creates minimal tax exposure for homeowners even though the percentage rate appears comparatively high within Georgia.
Turner ranks among Georgia's highest-tax counties
At 1.131%, Turner County has one of Georgia's highest effective property tax rates, exceeding the state average of 0.898% by a notable margin. This places Turner in roughly the top 20% statewide—among the most aggressive tax collectors in Georgia's 159 counties. However, Turner's very low home values ($95,200 median) mean residents still pay less in absolute dollars than homeowners in more modest-rate, higher-value counties.
Turner taxes highest in its region by far
Turner's 1.131% rate exceeds every nearby South Georgia county significantly—Toombs (0.962%), Tift (0.936%), Treutlen (0.955%), and Troup (0.972%) all charge considerably less. This makes Turner the region's most aggressive tax collector, a distinction that may reflect smaller assessment base and limited revenue sources in this rural community. Home values in Turner are also the region's lowest, creating additional pressure on tax rates to fund services.
What you'll pay on a typical Turner home
The median Turner County home valued at just $95,200 generates an annual property tax of approximately $1,077—roughly $90 per month, still among the nation's lowest despite Turner's high rate. With mortgage deductions, taxes rise modestly to $1,384 annually, remaining extremely affordable. This low absolute cost creates a paradox: Turner has Georgia's highest rate but residents often pay among the state's smallest tax bills.
File an appeal to verify your property's true value
In rural counties with limited comparable sales, assessments sometimes overstate fair market value simply due to sparse recent transaction data. Turner County property owners can file a free reassessment appeal within 45 days of receiving notice, requiring only evidence that comparable homes sold for less. Given Turner's very low home values, even modest assessment reductions can provide meaningful relief to cost-conscious residents.
Tax Rate Details
Understanding Millage Rates in Turner County
In Georgia, property taxes are expressed as a millage rate (also called a mill rate). One mill equals $1 of tax for every $1,000 of assessed property value. Your total property tax bill is determined by adding together the millage rates set by the county, city or municipality, school district, and any special districts.
In Georgia, property is assessed at 40% of fair market value. The millage rate is applied to this assessed value, so a home worth $300,000 has an assessed value of $120,000 for tax purposes. Georgia counties, cities, and school districts each set their own millage rates.
Turner County has an effective property tax rate of 1.13%, resulting in a median annual tax bill of $1,077. Use the calculator above to estimate your property tax based on Turner County's current rate, or contact the Turner County tax assessor's office for the exact millage rate breakdown for your property.
