When you receive your annual notice of assessment in the mail, you can either just accept the tax assessment and wait for the bill to come or you can file a property tax appeal. This is where you have to decide whether to seek or not seek professional help from a Clayton county property tax consultant in filing your appeal. Your decision will be affected by several factors, such as the discrepancy between the appraised value stated on the notice and the appraised value based on your research.
