Frequently Asked Questions

Send your reassessment notice to your mortgage company so they can update your escrow. Contact them directly to ask how they prefer to receive it, and follow up to confirm they’ve made the change.

Call the Henry County Treasurer’s Office at 276-634-4675 and ask if your mortgage company’s lender code is on your account. This ensures the bill is sent to them for escrow payment.

Not necessarily. At sale, attorneys list your current name and “formerly known as” your previous name. If you want it changed now, you’ll need a Deed of Correction or a new deed through a real estate attorney.

You’ll need to record their death certificate, will, and any other legal documents with the Clerk of Court. Then, a real estate attorney can help update the deed.

For a basic map, visit the Commissioner of the Revenue’s office or Engineering & Mapping’s office on the 2nd floor of the Admin Building. For a detailed plat map, go to the Henry County Circuit Court.

You can hire a local surveyor to create a new map. Once done, have it recorded at the Henry County Circuit Court to update the official records.

If your real estate tax bill hasn’t arrived, here are a few steps you can take to make sure everything is in order:

• Verify your mailing address with the Commissioner of the Revenue’s Office to ensure it’s up to date. If you’ve moved recently, be sure to update your address before July to avoid future issues.
• If your taxes are escrowed through your mortgage lender, confirm that the correct lender code is on file with the Treasurer’s Office. This helps ensure the bill is routed properly.
• Check with your local post office in case the bill was delayed or misdelivered.

Reminder: If you still can’t locate your bill, don’t worry—you can always request a duplicate copy directly from the Treasurer’s Office. Real estate taxes are due between October 1 and October 31. Payments received after November 1 will incur a 10% late penalty.
