An independent Gwinnett County property appraiser is not just a trained professional who provides an objective valuation of real and personal property. You will also find that the property appraiser is also a great source of information about property assessments, appeals, and taxes. 

When the Board of Assessors mails the Annual Notices of Assessment, taxpayers can determine whether a formal protest or appeal is necessary.  In case the assessed value on the property can be contested on one of three grounds, namely, value, taxability, and uniformity, then a Fulton property tax appeal can be filed.

If you were to ask your fellow property owners many will say they would like to skip on the payment of the Hall County property tax.

Many owners and developers of senior housing and assisted living facilities are faced with excessive capacity (i.e., the number of rooms available exceeds the number of actual rooms filled). But these individuals have to deal with the overly optimistic property valuation provided by the DeKalb County Tax Assessor, which means higher taxes on lower income. 

Whether the property owner likes it or not, the Fulton County Tax Assessor has an advantage where access to property assessment-related records are concerned.  Fortunately, you can make a few simple yet effective counterattack steps to balance out the scales, more or less.  Your welfare as a taxpayer is at stake here, particularly in terms of reduced property taxes, so appropriate action on your part is a must. 

You may be one of the taxpayers that believe the following Gwinnett County tax assessment myths to be true. Your belief in these myths may have worked against your favor, such as that a cap on property assessments will result in lower property taxes.  You should disabuse yourself, so to speak, of these myths so that you can make wiser decisions regarding your property taxes. 

Like it or not, the Hall County Tax Assessor and Tax Commissioner are parts of life for owners of real property within the jurisdiction of Hall County in Georgia.  These two government officials and their staff members are responsible for the assessment of property valuation including fair market values and assessed values for properties in their jurisdiction as well as for the collection of the taxes.  Their offices are also mandated by law to answer the questions posed by taxpayers. 

Understandably, many property owners think of the DeKalb County Tax Assessor and his staff as the agents of evil government.  These county officials are, after all, the people responsible for the assessment of the taxable values of real property in their jurisdiction, said taxable value of which are the basis for the estimated property taxes – and we all know the reluctance many taxpayers have about doing their civic duty and parting with their money.
