Most people do not think about their property taxes except for when they get their assessment letter and when they make their payment. Quite often, they simply trust that the tax assessor has done a proper job with the assessment and that the property has been valued properly. However, it is important to realize that this is not always the case. In fact, there can be times when the value for the property is off by quite a bit whether it is a commercial business or a residence.

If you have been hit with a big bill from your GA tax assessors’ office, you may be wondering just how they got those numbers in the first place. The fact is that tax assessors use the market value of a home – meaning what a home would sell for on the market – to determine what kind of tax you’ll need to pay. If you live in a great area and your home is modern and of good quality, you’ll have an easier time selling it. That means it’s worth more on the market, which in turn means the GA tax assessors can charge you more in property taxes.
If you have ever considered appealing your Gwinnett County property tax, you may think that it’s just not worth the hassle, or that your home’s value will be close enough to the assessor’s numbers anyway.

But the fact is that even huge corporations with pricey commercial properties appeal their property tax – so why shouldn’t you? Just because your home in Gwinnett County is of excellent value, doesn’t mean the assessor didn’t over-value it.
