An assessment in Fulton County, Georgia, may not tell the whole story about your property. Its condition, location, and comparable sales can all affect the case for a different value. Reviewing your assessment is a useful first step when the number does not seem to fit your home.
A Fulton County property tax appeal is a formal challenge to an assessment, with filing rules and evidence requirements specific to Georgia. Review your notice, confirm the applicable valuation date, and check the official local instructions before filing. The guide below brings together the countyβs filing details, process, and resources so you can understand what preparation is involved.

Step 1: Read the notice date.
Your Annual Notice of Assessment arrives from the Fulton County Board of Assessors, usually in June. Find the notice date in the upper corner β your 45 days start there.
Step 2: Check the fair market value, not the tax figure.
The notice shows a fair market value and a 40% assessed value. Your appeal argues the fair market value is too high.
Step 4: File Form PT-311A.
Submit online at fultonassessor.org, by mail, or in person before the 45 days expire. State your grounds β market value, uniformity, or both.
Step 5: The assessors respond.
Fulton reviews your evidence and either adjusts the value or sends the appeal forward. Many cases end here.
Step 6: Board of Equalization.
If the county does not move, a three-member panel of local property owners hears your case. Bring your comparable sales, organized.
Step 7: The freeze.
If the value comes down through the appeal, O.C.G.A. Β§ 48-5-299(c) generally holds it for the following two tax years.

In the meantime, here's general information about how a property tax appeal works in Fulton County. Check the county's official site for current deadlines and fees.
Fulton County values more than 300,000 parcels a year, from Atlanta bungalows to Alpharetta new builds, and it does it with automated mass appraisal models. Those models work on averages. They do not walk your street, look at your kitchen, or notice that the house behind you backs onto GA 400.
Georgia assesses at 40% of fair market value (O.C.G.A. Β§ 48-5-7). That ratio is fixed statewide, so an appeal in Fulton County is never an argument about the 40%. It is an argument about the fair market value the county put underneath it.
Your Annual Notice of Assessment carries a notice date in the upper corner. You have 45 days from that date to appeal to the Fulton County Board of Assessors (O.C.G.A. Β§ 48-5-311). Not 45 days from when you opened the envelope. In the 2026 cycle Fulton mailed in mid-June and set the deadline at July 31 β but the date printed on your own notice is the one that governs.
Miss it and the value stands for the year. There is no late appeal in Georgia the way there is a "good cause" exception in some states.
Fulton is one of the most uneven housing markets in the state. A mass appraisal model that leans on sales from a stronger pocket of Buckhead can carry that number across a neighborhood line into a very different market. Interior condition, deferred maintenance, a busy road, a difficult lot β none of it shows up in an automated valuation unless someone puts it in front of the assessors.
Roughly 30% to 60% of properties nationally are over-assessed. Only about 5% of owners ever challenge it.
Under O.C.G.A. Β§ 48-5-299(c), when an appeal changes your value, that new value is generally frozen for the next two tax years. A reduction won this year keeps paying, with limited exceptions such as substantial improvements to the property.

45 days from the date printed on your Annual Notice of Assessment (O.C.G.A. Β§ 48-5-311). Fulton typically mails in June β in the 2026 cycle notices went out mid-June and the deadline was July 31, 2026. Always work from the date on your own notice, not a calendar date you read somewhere.

That is Georgia's statewide assessment ratio (O.C.G.A. Β§ 48-5-7). Every property in the state is assessed at 40% of fair market value, then taxed at the local millage rate. An appeal challenges the fair market value, not the 40%.
Generally yes. Under O.C.G.A. Β§ 48-5-299(c), a value set through appeal is frozen for the following two tax years, with limited exceptions such as substantial improvements to the property. That is why one Fulton County appeal can be worth three years of savings.

Then the value stands for that tax year β Georgia has no good-cause late filing. Run your estimate now so the case is built and the PT-311A is ready the day next year's notice lands.
