The Hart County Board of Equalization is seeking an ALTERNATE MEMBER for the Board of Equalization. This is NOT a part time position or job.
This position consists of being on a three-member board and hearing tax appeals for Hart County.
This consists of being available for call for approximately six weeks starting the end of October and going through November. When working you would normally be scheduled to work an eight-hour day but if appeals are canceled or you have no shows you would not have to work the full day. The pay is $100.00 per each full day you worked.
This is a position that would require you to submit an application to the Hart County Clerk of Superior Court and then said application would be presented to the August 2026 Grand Jury for appointment to said Board. They are certain criteria for being a member. One being that you own land in Hart County and over 18 years of age.
This position would require you to attend a 40-hour training course online for which you would be paid for attending just as if you were hearing appeals.
This position runs for a three-year period and you would then seek reappointment if you so choose.
If you are interested in giving back to the citizens of Hart County and would enjoy this type of service, please call if you have any other questions. 1-706-376-7189.
Deadline for submitting applications will be August 14th, 2026.
Sincerely,
Frankie Gray
Hart County Clerk of Superior Court
