Georgia · county records and appeal guidance

Understand your assessment.
Know the next step.

Start with the county record and assessment notice. Georgia’s appeal rules provide a common 45-day filing window; local offices handle property records, exemptions, and appeals.

Georgia coverage: Search current 2026 parcel values in Forsyth and Richmond counties. We also link to all 159 county tax offices. More counties are added only after their source data is reviewed.

Find your county’s property records

Choose the county where the property is located. The link opens the county tax-office website listed by Georgia DOR, or the county’s official records page where DOR has no listing.

Links are for public records lookup, not bulk assessment downloads. The county controls its site and records. If a link is outdated, use the Georgia DOR county directory or contact that county’s Board of Tax Assessors.

Georgia assessment appeals

The county Board of Tax Assessors sends the annual real-property assessment notice. If you want to appeal, file with that county’s Board of Tax Assessors within 45 days from the notice mailing date. The appeal may address taxability, value, uniformity, or denial of an exemption.

1. Check the notice

Confirm the parcel, owner, property description, assessed fair market value, and any exemption or classification. Keep the notice and its mailing date.

2. Choose an appeal method

The state’s PT-311A form asks you to choose a hearing path. Read the county’s current instructions and file with the county assessors, not the Department of Revenue.

3. Keep proof

Follow the county’s accepted delivery method, keep a copy of what you file, and retain proof of timely delivery or mailing.

This page explains the published process. It does not prepare or file an appeal, decide which method to choose, or extend a deadline.

Plan around the 45-day window

Enter the mailing date printed on the assessment notice to see a 45-calendar-day planning target. This does not determine the county’s official deadline. Confirm the exact last day and filing method with the county, especially if the target falls on a weekend or holiday.

Homestead exemption basics

Georgia DOR says the home generally must be owned and used as the owner’s legal residence on January 1. Current DOR guidance allows applications through the end of the 45-day assessment-notice appeal window; confirm the deadline and application office with your county. Local exemptions and eligibility rules vary.

Applications go to the county tax commissioner or, in some counties, to the Board of Tax Assessors. Do not assume the statewide standard exemption is the only exemption available.

What’s available now

Georgia’s tax bills depend on local taxing districts, millage rates, exemptions, and the property’s assessed value. We do not calculate Georgia tax estimates yet. Current parcel-value search is limited to the counties shown above; use the official county links for other counties and confirm all values with the notice.

County record links were assembled from Georgia DOR’s directory on November 7, 2026, with White County supplemented from its county site. Confirm local details with the county.
