Property Tax Correction Notice

The City of Rockmart has identified a software error that occurred during the transmission of data from the Polk County Tax Assessor’s Office to the City’s billing system. As a result, certain property tax bills recently issued by the City contained incorrect amounts.

This issue affects only residential properties that qualified for the Floating Homestead Exemption (HB 581).

City staff are actively reviewing and manually correcting all affected accounts to ensure that each property owner receives an accurate and updated tax bill.

Property owners impacted by this error will receive one of the following:

• A corrected property tax bill reflecting the accurate amount due, along with an extended payment deadline; or

• A refund if the original payment exceeded the corrected amount due 

If your qualifying residential property was impacted by this error, you should receive a corrected property tax bill no later than November 7, 2025.

The City of Rockmart sincerely regrets this error and any inconvenience it may have caused. We are committed to resolving this matter promptly, accurately, and with full transparency.
