The property tax law in the State of Georgia is constantly under review and being changed by the state lawmakers. The property tax law is apparently viewed by some as a political tool.

Now that Fulton County “caught up to the market” through high percentage tax assessment increases and were forced to rescind the increases there is much more talk about a cap on assessment increases.
