Appealing Your Assessment

Each year the Fulton County Board of Assessors issues notices of assessment to every property in Fulton County, pursuant to state law. The notice includes an assessment of each property's fair market value.

If a property owner does believe their assessment represents the fair market value for their property, they have the right to file an appeal within 45 days of the date of the Notice of Assessment. Read more below for additional information about the appeals process.

Awaiting Appeal

The appeals process can take several months. In the meantime, you may receive a temporary tax bill while your appeal is pending. You must pay that temporary bill or risk receiving additional penalties and fees.
