Sec. 78-160E-911 charge on prepaid wireless transactions

Last changed 2011

Needs a look

Residents see a 911 charge on their utility bill, and the authority for it should be current. See the fix

Plain English: what this chapter covers

This chapter covers city property taxes: billing, due dates, interest, penalties, and what happens if they go unpaid, up to a tax sale. It also covers taxes on insurers, banks and hotel rooms, the monthly E-911 charge, and the 2022 Blighted Property Ordinance, which raises taxes on officially blighted, non-owner-occupied property and gives a tax break once it's fixed.

In accordance with § 46-5-134.2, there is hereby imposed a prepaid wireless E-911 charge as defined by O.C.G.A. § 46-5-134.2(a)(4) upon every prepaid wireless retail transaction occurring within the jurisdiction of the public service answering point in the amount of $0.75.
