Show All Answers
1.
Why did I get this Assessment Notice?
Georgia state law, under Senate Bill 346 (effective January 1, 2011), requires annual assessment notices be sent to every property owner. Previously, notices were only sent if the property value changed or property owner filed a Return of Value. Under the new law, the notices must also include an
estimated
tax amount.
2.
Do I need to respond to this Assessment Notice?
No. However, if you believe your property valuation is incorrect, you have the right to file an appeal.
3.
Should this
estimated
tax amount match last year’s actual tax bill?
Yes, with the exceptions of a change in value, exemptions or new parcels. New parcels do not have a prior year tax bill, and does not include street lights and solid waste fees in the
estimated
tax amount.
4.
Should this
estimated
tax amount match this coming year’s tax bill?
SB 346 requires using the prior year mill rates. The current year tax bill amount is unknown as of the mailing of this Assessment Notice. Local levying authorities have not finalized budgets or established current year mill rates.
5.
Will this estimated tax amount be the same as my actual tax bill?
Unknown (See answer to previous question)

What do I need to do if I disagree with this assessed value?
All appeals must be filed in writing within 45 days after the date of the assessment notice. You do have the right to
file an appeal

Unknown. Levying authorities have not established millage rates for the current tax year.
9.
Why is my street lights charge different from my neighbors?
Traffic Engineering sets the rates for street lights. Depending upon where you live, rates are assessed either on (1) mill rate set by the County Commission, or (2) front-foot of the property and type of street light. For more information, please contact Traffic Engineering at (706) 821-1829.
10.
Why do I have a solid waste charge on this notice?
The County Commission voted in 2001 to add solid waste fees to the property tax bill. If you believe that you should not be charged this fee please contact the Solid Waste Department at (706) 592-3200.
11.
When will I receive my actual tax bill?
Typically, tax bills are mailed in the fall of each year; generally, in August or September.

Does this estimated tax amount include my homestead exemption?
Yes. All prior years and current year approved exemptions are included in the
estimated
tax amount.
