Does it feel like you pay more taxes than anyone else? Or do you feel like you are contributing towards your landlord’s, utility company’s or telephone company’s taxes?

No one likes to pay taxes, but things could be worse: you could be paying these numbers. According to The Atlanta Business Chronicle, here are the top-dogs, for Atlanta-area taxes, in 2008:

1. BellSouth Telecommunications/AT&T was the highest taxpayer in Dekalb County ($8,205,027), Gwinnett County ($4,760,362) and Rockdale County ($753,773); they were the 2nd highest taxpayer in Fulton County (combined taxes paid were $13,792,582). BellSouth/AT&T also ranked as one of the top 10 largest taxpayers in Cherokee, Clayton, Cobb, Douglas, Fayette and Henry Counties;
2. Georgia Power ranked in the top 10 taxpayers in Fulton, Dekalb, Cobb, Gwinnett, Douglas, Henry, Clayton and Rockdale Counties. Greystone Power, Cobb Electric EMC, Coweta/Fayette EMC, Snapping Shoals EMC and Jackson EMC are also Metro-Atlanta’s top ten taxpayers;
3. Atlanta Gaslight was the highest taxpayer in Cherokee County and was ranked one of the ten highest payers in Clayton, Dekalb, Fayette and Rockdale Counties;
4. The Development Authority of Fulton County was the top taxpayer in Fulton County;
5. Post Apartments was one of the top ten taxpayers in Fulton and Dekalb Counties.
