Tax Assessor
478-892-3564 |
When the county's assessor changes the value of
property from the value in place for the preceding year of from the
value that was returned by the taxpayer for the current year, a
notice of that change must be sent to the property owner. The property owner desiring to appeal the
change in value must do so within 45 days of the mailing of the
original tax notification. The appeal is filed
with the Board of Tax Assessors who
review the valuation and the appeal filed and informs the taxpayer
of its decision. If the taxpayer remains dissatisfied,
the appeal is forwarded to the
County Board of Equalization. A hearing is scheduled
and conducted and the Board of
Equalization renders its decision, an appeal to Superior Court
may be made.
The assessment appeal may be made on the basis of the taxability of
the property, the value placed upon the property or the uniformity
of that value when compared to other similar properties in the
county. The appeal must be filed within the applicable time
period and cannot be filed after that time. Additionally the
appeal should not be based on any complaint about the amount of
taxes levied on the property.
