Georgia assesses most residential property at 40% of fair market value. A successful BOE outcome can support a three-year value freeze under O.C.G.A. § 48-5-299(c) when the record supports it.
Frequently asked questions
Straight answers about Georgia appeals and how AppealPilot fits in.
AppealPilot helps Georgia homeowners see whether their county assessment looks high, review comparable sales, estimate tax savings, and choose a DIY appeal kit or full-service representation. We focus on clear evidence and deadlines—not hype.
Your county estimates fair market value (FMV). For most residential property, assessed value (AV) is 40% of FMV. Your property tax bill is driven by AV and the combined millage rate in your taxing districts. If AV is too high, you may be overpaying each year.
After you receive an assessment or valuation notice, Georgia law generally gives you a limited window—often described as about 45 days—to file an appeal. The exact deadline is printed on your notice and can vary by county and notice type. Missing it usually means waiting until the next cycle.
The county reviews your filing. Many appeals are scheduled before the county board of equalization (BOE). You (or your representative) present evidence—often comparable sales and condition notes—and the board issues a decision. Some cases settle informally before a hearing.
PT-311A is a standard Georgia form used to appeal property tax assessments to the board of equalization. Counties may also publish local instructions or portals; always follow the address and deadline on your own notice.
The board hears your argument and reviews your evidence packet. A concise, well-organized presentation—especially with strong comparables—makes it easier for the board to follow your requested value. You may receive a written decision after the hearing.
In qualifying situations, a successful outcome at the BOE with written evidence can limit annual reassessment of value for up to three years. Whether the freeze applies depends on your county, the record, and the specific outcome. It is not automatic for every appeal.
Choose DIY if you want templates, comparables formatted for filing, and a checklist to present your own case. Choose full-service if you want AppealPilot to handle preparation, filing coordination, and representation for a fee tied to first-year tax savings, with no upfront cost.
If you purchase the DIY kit and your county does not reduce your assessed value for that appeal cycle, we refund the kit fee according to our published terms. Full-service remains contingent—you do not owe the percentage fee unless you achieve tax savings.
Filing the appeal form with your county is typically free or low-cost; counties set their own fees if any. Timelines vary: some appeals resolve in weeks; others take several months through BOE or further steps. Your notice and county instructions control the calendar.
