The vast majority of properties were NOT reappraised this year. If your property changed in value from its 2025 assessment, most likely, there was a physical change made to the property OR the property is no longer being held at a value established during a BOE appeal from the 2023 tax year.

Also, please take note that changes have been made to the mandated design of Georgia's Notice of Assessment. Gone is the tax estimate that has been shown on all notices in years past. In most cases, these estimates were based on prior millage rates, and as such, were, usually, not very accurate, and as such, misleading. This year, you will find an estimate of Tax Savings, IF the property is covered by a Homestead Exemption (property owners are allowed only one homestead exemption on their primary residence only), and/or the property is in one of the three agricultural exemption programs (Conservation Use, Forest Land Protection Act, or Preferential Assessment). It is worth pointing out that these tax savings estimates are also based on last year’s millage rates, and as such, the true savings amount may vary from the estimate shown.

If you believe your property is entitled to one of these exemptions, you may apply for any of these exemptions prior to the Appeal Deadline of August 7, 2026.
