Who should pay the taxes?
The current owner is always responsible for any outstanding taxes on their property. Property taxes “follow” the property and are levied against same.

Tax bills are mailed to the January 1 property owner. If you purchase property during the year, you must file a tax return with the Cobb County Tax Assessor’s Office for them to change ownership and obtain a current mailing address for you to receive your tax bill. You are responsible for contacting the City of Marietta Tax Division if you fail to receive your tax bill. For more information, please call the Tax Manager at 770-794-5680.
