Fulton County’s 2024 Notices of Assessment have been mailed to property owners and are now available online at
www.fultonassessor.org.
As required by Georgia law, the Tax Assessors’ office issues an annual Notice of Assessment for every property, which must reflect fair market value.
Due to recent reports of delayed mail in many parts of metro Atlanta, property owners are encouraged to review their notices online. Residents who do not have computer access may visit the offices of the Fulton County Board of Assessors for assistance.
Property owners are encouraged to carefully review their notices. By law, property owners have a 45-day period to appeal their notice of assessment if they do not believe their notice reflects fair market value. The appeals deadline for most property owners is Friday, August 2, 2024, unless another date is specifically printed on the notice of assessment.
Appeals may be submitted online at
www.fultonassessor.org, by mail, or in the offices of the Board of Assessors.
Many Fulton County homeowners receive property tax relief through homestead exemptions. Importantly, every property in Fulton County with at least a basic homestead exemption in place also benefits from at least two “floating” homestead exemptions. Floating homestead exemptions are designed to insulate homeowners from rapid increases in value, and cap the annual increase in taxable value at around 3% per year (or CPI, whichever is less).
Homeowners who do not have a homestead exemption for their primary residence can apply by April 1 of each year. Any homestead exemption applications received now will be applicable for the 2025 tax year.
Property assessments are one component used to calculate property tax bills. Each of the 18 taxing jurisdictions in Fulton County, including cities, school boards and Fulton County Government, will also set their annual millage rate in coming weeks.
