Georgia Property tax appeals and assessment disputes

Georgia has specific statutory protections that govern property tax appeals and assessment disputes. Knowing your rights is the first step; enforcing them requires a formal written demand letter that cites the relevant Georgia statutes, sets a firm deadline, and states the legal consequences of non-compliance. TaxFightLetter generates exactly that letter — tailored to Georgia law, your specific dispute, and your timeline. Below are the 10 dispute types we cover for Georgia residents.

Property tax in Georgia is governed by the Georgia Ad Valorem Property Tax Law (assessment ratio) / Appeal of Assessment statute (O.C.G.A. § 48-5-7 (40% assessment ratio); O.C.G.A. § 48-5-311 (appeals)). Assessment cycle: Annual. Property is valued as of January 1 each year by the county Board of Tax Assessors; owners receive an Annual Notice of Assessment. Assessed value: 40% of fair market value (O.C.G.A. § 48-5-7), unless otherwise specified by law.
