Clay County Georgia Visitor Information

Visitor Information

On behalf of the Clay County Board of Commissioners, we would like to welcome you to Clay County. The following will outline various steps you will need to complete in order to make your move to Clay County pleasant and seamless.

The City of Fort Gaines and Clay County both have Planning and Zoning Regulations. BEFORE you begin any renovation or construction project, please contact the appropriate entity for a copy of these regulations. This will prevent any confusion or needless fines for failure to file properly. Our zoning regulations were put in place to protect our environment and integrity of the county.

Also note, Clay County levies a Refuse Tax. This is a mandated tax and is required for all residential property owners. This provides for $14.20 per month for refuse pickup. Annual fees are $156.20 (you receive one month free for paying in advance.) Please call or come by the office located at 105 N. Washington Street, Fort Gaines, GA to initiate your service. Please note that services will be established based on county tax records. Change of address, etc. must be brought to the office for updates.

We hope that you find this information helpful. Please feel free to contact our offices if you need any additional assistance.

Respectfully,

Clay County Administrator
