The Tift County Board of Education has approved a resolution to provide temporary property tax relief for timberland owners impacted by Hurricane Helene.

The relief, effective September 1, 2025, supports recovery efforts for landowners whose timber property was damaged during recent storms.

Eligible timberland owners should contact the Tift County Tax Commissioner’s Office or visit the Georgia Forestry Commission website to complete the required certification form.
