Navigating Sometimes Complicated Processes

It is your right to appeal a decision made by the county’s tax assessment board. If you believe that the appraisal provided to you is inaccurate or unfair, it is up to you to go through the process of completing an appeal. If you are using a property tax appeal service like ours, you do not have to worry about the process. We’ll manage it for you.

That includes navigating the specific required steps set by each county including Cobb County, Fulton County, DeKalb County, and Gwinnett County. We’ll ensure:

  • All details are completed properly. Slight mistakes could create long-term problems.
  • Your case is well presented in the documents, making it clear why this appeal is beneficial.
  • All documentation is provided within a timely manner – ensuring you do not miss the required filing time for claims.

To be clear, you can do this yourself. Yet, using a service like our own helps to minimize the risk of a mistake that costs you.

Know If You Should Pursue the Process

Property values increase over time. The assessed value of your home is likely to change over time for tax purposes. Yet, not all increases warrant an appeal. While this is certainly your right, it is often beneficial to really break down the reasons and benefits of filing a claim like this (and when it may not be worthwhile).

Using our property tax appeal services, you’ll gain more insight into your situation. That includes learning about the advantages of filing an appeal. If your property’s tax assessment increased significantly, it’s wise to reach out to us to learn more about how we can help you. We’ll be honest and upfront about your situation, providing you with information on how likely it is (or is not) that you can see a change. We encourage you to learn more about your situation with us before submitting an appeal on your own.

It is always important to know your rights and the steps to take to get help. Even if you are unsure if you have a reason to pursue an appeal – or you are unsure if you will win it – let our team take a closer look at your situation and provide an unbiased opinion. You may find this is the most important step in ensuring your rights are protected now and in the years to come.
