Georgia PT-311A Form: How to Fill It Out and File Your Appeal

Form PT-311A is the workhorse of Georgia residential property tax appeals. It tells the county who you are, what you disagree with, and which appeal track you are choosing. Getting it right avoids delays and lost deadlines.

Where to get PT-311A

Counties and the Georgia Department of Revenue publish the form. Your assessment notice may reference it by name. Download the current version from a .gov source and confirm you are using the revision your county expects.

Property owner and parcel information

Complete owner name, mailing address, and the parcel ID or map reference exactly as shown on your notice. Typos here are a common reason filings bounce back.

Assessment values and grounds

State the fair market value or assessed value on the notice and the value you believe is correct. Briefly explain your basis—typically market comparables, condition, or equity arguments your county allows.

Method of appeal

Georgia offers different paths (for example, BOE hearing, arbitration where available, or superior court). Most homeowners start with a BOE hearing. Mark the option that matches your notice instructions.

Where to mail or deliver it

Your notice lists the correct office and address. Some counties want walk-in delivery; others accept mail. If you mail, use certificate of mailing or tracking so you can prove timely filing if the deadline is disputed.

AppealPilot and pre-filled guidance

AppealPilot is built to walk you from address to evidence and to reduce errors on PT-311A by aligning values and comparables with what you will present. You still review and sign your filing—but you are not starting from a blank PDF.
