Tax Appeal Process
“Challenging your property tax assessment may result in a hidden savings. If [your] assessment doesn’t reflect today’s market…you may be overpaying”. Suze Orman
Many property taxpayers don’t even realize that they are overpaying their taxes. Every property owner has the responsibility and obligation to pay property taxes, but only what is their fair share of the tax burden. We can assist you with the tax appeal process and ensure that you are not paying too much in taxes.
Based on a new state law, beginning in 2011 every property in Georgia will receive a Change of Assessment Notice - It is important that you contact us, either prior to or after you receive the Notice
We are offering Free Information Seminars to individuals, residential and condominium homeowner associations, clubs, organizations, and groups. All are welcome to attend. So schedule a seminar today!
There are two ways to file a tax appeal: file a tax return or appeal the new value established by the Board of Assessors.
Property Tax Returns
Property tax returns must be filed with the County Board of Tax Assessors between January 1 and April 1 of each year. The taxpayer may elect not to file a property tax return if there have been no changes that would affect the value of their property from the previous year.

Valuation Appeals
If the assessors disagree with the taxpayer’s returned value, the assessor will provide the county’s value and a change of assessment notice will be sent to the taxpayer. If the taxpayer wishes to appeal the change, the appeal must be sent to the Board of Tax Assessors and postmarked no later than 45 days from the date of the change of assessment notice.
