Georgia mails an Annual Notice of Assessment to every property owner each year, whether the value changed or not. That notice starts a clock.
You have 45 days from the date on the notice to appeal to your County Board of Tax Assessors. Miss it and the value stands for the year, so the date on the envelope matters more than the date you opened it.
Georgia assesses at 40% of fair market value (O.C.G.A. § 48-5-7). Your bill is that assessed value multiplied by the combined county, city and school millage rate.
Because the 40% ratio is fixed statewide, an appeal here is an argument about the fair market value underneath it — not about the ratio.
You can appeal on market value (the county's number is higher than what the property would sell for) or on uniformity (comparable properties are assessed lower than yours).
Appeals go to the Board of Tax Assessors on Form PT-311A. If they do not resolve it, the case moves to the county Board of Equalization.
Under O.C.G.A. § 48-5-299(c), when an appeal changes your value, that new value is generally frozen for the next two tax years. One successful appeal can be worth three years of savings.
TaxDrop currently operates in Texas. See our Texas property tax guide.
45 days from the date on your Annual Notice of Assessment — not 45 days from when you received it. Georgia mails a notice every year even when your value has not changed, so the notice date is the one to work from.

That is Georgia's statewide assessment ratio (O.C.G.A. § 48-5-7). Every property 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. O.C.G.A. § 48-5-299(c) freezes a value set through appeal for the following two tax years, with limited exceptions such as substantial improvements to the property.
