Every year, homeowners in Gwinnett County receive an assessment of their property value. This assessment notification provides them information about the overall value of their home, as well as the taxable value. For many, the taxable value is the most important information, because this allows them to know whether their property taxes will increase or decrease during the coming year. 

If you've received your DeKalb County, Georgia tax assessment, you should know that this isn't necessarily a “final bill”. That is unless you decide not to contest it. Should you decide to simply pay it, the case is closed. You can, however, appeal your assessment. Here is how to appeal property taxes in DeKalb County.
