THURSDAY, DECEMBER 4, 2008 THE BANKS COUNTY NEWS PACE 5B Legal notices Gpn14 Notice To Taxpayer Regarding Temporary 2009 Ad Valorem Motor Vehicle Tax The fees you pay each year to purchase a license plate or decal and reg ister your motor vehicle are actually ad valorem taxes. These Taxes are determined by the value of the motor vehicle, as determined by the Commissioner of the Georgia Department of Revenue, multiplied by the millage rate. The amount of tax you have just paid is a temporary amount, how ever, because the millage rate for 2008 (which is used to determine 2009 motor vehicle taxes) has not yet been set by the Banks County Board of Education. When the Banks County Board of Education sets its millage rate, the final amount of your 2009 motor vehicle tax will be determined. When the millage rate is set, you may be enti tled to a refund. You will not be required to pay any additional amount. Consequently, please watch for news in the local media that the final millage rate for 2008 has been set. No written notic es will be mailed to you. In order to obtain your refund (if you are entitled to a refund), you must return to the Office of the Banks County Tax Commissioner (in the Banks County Courthouse) in person to claim your refund. If you have any ques tions, please call the Office of the Banks County Tax Commissioner at (706) 677-6204.
