A judge has given Fulton County permission to collect property taxes for now, even though some necessary information is missing. The 2026 Tax Digest, which determines property taxes, is incomplete and has not been approved by the Georgia Department of Revenue. The missing information includes land parcel entries.

Without approval, the county would not be able to collect taxes, which would cause problems with paying employees and settling debts. Fulton County Superior Court Judge Shukura Ingram has allowed the temporary collection of taxes based on last year's rates and this year's property values.
