About Us
The HCPOA was established in 2002 to improve the accuracy of and help property owners understand their property tax assessments and the appeals process. We since expanded our community outreach to include broader concerns and issues impacting Hart County.
The HCPOA is a community-oriented service organization. Membership consists of property owners, including lakeside residents, rural land owners, urban dwellers, and agricultural and commercial business owners. Our activities include:
1) active monitoring of Hart County Schools, including issues related to financial management, construction projects, usage of property tax receipts, student achievement, and curriculum;
2) active coordination with other community organizations, businesses, and government within the Savannah River Basin in Georgia and South Carolina, including Federal, State, Regional, County, City, and other elected, appointed, and hired officials. Issues include stabilizing lake levels, environmental concerns, recreation facilities, and economic development;
3) active monitoring of the recent surge in annexations of County land to the City of Hartwell and the impact of developing rural properties with high-density projects; and
4) continually monitoring the Hart County Tax Assessor's Office to ensure that property assessments remain linked to actual sales values and changing market conditions.
The HCPOA holds interesting and informative General Membership meetings monthly. Admission is free, the general public is welcome, and a low-cost membership is encouraged.
