A huge THANK YOU to Ingrid Duque for taking the time to share her knowledge on the Property Tax Assessment Appeals process in Georgia.

As a reminder, we are not attorneys, tax professionals, CFPs, etc. Just investors sharing knowledge, hoping to help others on our investor journeys. This is Ingrid's process. Please consult with a property tax professional if you have questions about your process.

The Steps to Appeal

1. Review your tax assessment statement.
2. NOTE THE APPEALS DEADLINE
3. Determine if you want to appeal
4. Locate the link to the appeals website submission page (in Augusta, it's in the upper, right-hand corner of the document)
5. Click the link and enter the requested contact information
6. Fill out the submission form, deciding if you will file a Value or Uniformity appeal
7. Find comparable properties that support your case. We suggesting finding at least 1 comp that SOLD at the value closest to your property's assessed value and 1 comp that SOLD at the value YOU think your property is truly worth.
8. Prepare your support (you format the support however you want; there's not only one way to do it)
   • In a printable document format, include the comparable properties you've identified
   • Call out differences in the property (level of renovation, recent fixes, quality of finishes, age of the property, etc.)
   • Include photos of your property and the comp properties to show the differences (find these on apps like Zillow, Redfin, etc. or connect with your agent for assistance)
9. Attach your support
10. Submit your appeal by the deadline -- there are no extensions or exceptions.
