Frequently Asked Questions – Appealing Your Property Taxes in Georgia

Why should I appeal my property taxes?

Every year, thousands of Georgia homeowners are over-assessed, meaning the county’s estimated value of their home is higher than what it’s actually worth. This inflated value leads to higher property taxes. Appealing your property tax assessment can potentially save you hundreds or even thousands of dollars annually — especially if your home value has declined or was incorrectly estimated.

How does the property tax appeal process work in Georgia?

Here’s how the appeal process generally works across counties like Fulton, Cobb, Gwinnett, DeKalb, Henry, and Paulding:

  1. You receive your annual assessment notice from the county (typically between April–June).

  2. You have 45 days from the date on the notice to file an appeal.

  3. You submit your appeal through the county’s online portal or by mail.

  4. The appeal can go through one of three routes:

    • Board of Equalization (BOE) hearing

    • Hearing Officer (for high-value properties)

    • Arbitration (optional, requires a third-party appraisal)

  6. Supporting evidence is critical — and that’s where we come in.
