Over the last year, it has come to our attention that frequently only the owners of large commercial properties are represented in appeals of their property tax assessments. Most non commercial property owners are unaware of the need to do any more than file their homestead exemption. Unfortunately, many owners do not know of their tax increase until they receive a letter from their mortgage company telling them that their house payment is going up. This is usually long past the time that an appeal can be made and consequently they lose their right to appeal.
In Georgia, due to recent actions of the legislature, You will have additional opportunities to lower your tax assessment. Many local school boards, municipalities, and counties are exploring additional user fees as well as increasing the millage rate to cover the reduced revenue.. It is a fact that your property taxes are going up, even if the local board of commissioners does not raise the millage rate this year. With property values falling by as much as 30%, your taxes should be falling as well. We intend to fight for a fair tax assessment for our clients.
