Learn moreHenry County property tax runs above Coweta County's in this batch
Henry County's effective property tax rate is cited at 0.91% of assessed value -- higher than most Georgia counties -- with a typical annual property tax payment of $3,177 (Ownwell, retrieved 2026-08-22). This runs meaningfully above Coweta County's own $2,561 median bill documented for Newnan elsewhere in this batch, even though Henry's effective rate (0.91%) is actually slightly lower than Coweta's (0.93%) -- the higher bill likely reflects differences in home values or local assessment/millage layering rather than the county rate alone. A precise, currently-adopted 2026 Henry County millage rate was not independently confirmed this pass.
Georgia's flat state income tax
Georgia levies a flat 4.99% individual income tax for tax year 2026, per HB 463 (Georgia Dept. of Revenue, Governor Kemp press release, retrieved 2026-08-22) -- this applies statewide, restated here as place-level context.
