How the Georgia appeal process works
Georgia homeowners receive an Annual Notice of Assessment each year and have 45 days to appeal. You file Form PT-311A with the county Board of Assessors and choose an appeal route: the Board of Equalization (BOE, no fee), a hearing officer, or binding arbitration. Most owners choose the BOE.

The honest verdict
Choose based on your property, evidence and how much work you will do yourself. Our $29 national DIY kit provides guidance and worksheets; you gather the evidence. The $49 Audit depends on county/address records and provides the filing or valuation output they support. Searchable records are not a promise of comparable sales. Managed services may file and represent you; compare their current local terms. No provider can guarantee an identical outcome or lasting savings.

Frequently asked questions
What are the best property tax appeal companies in Georgia?
AppealMyTax offers a $29 state guide and workbook; you gather evidence and file. Its $49 Audit does not promise supported comparable evidence for every address. Ownwell and OverAssessed.ai file your appeal for you on contingency. REI Valuations is a licensed Atlanta appraiser that produces a flat-fee appraisal report you file with, not a representation firm.
How much does it cost to appeal property taxes in Georgia?
Our $29 state kit provides guidance and worksheets, not comparable-sales evidence. Other providers set their own fees. Contingency firms take a percentage of your savings. An appraisal report from a firm like REI Valuations typically runs $500-$650. There is no fee to appeal to the county Board of Equalization itself.
What is the deadline to appeal property taxes in Georgia?
45 days from the date printed on your Annual Notice of Assessment. Because counties mail notices on different dates (usually late spring), there is no single statewide deadline, use the date on your notice.
What form do I use to appeal property taxes in Georgia?
Form PT-311A, the Property Tax Appeal form, filed with your county Board of Assessors. Most homeowners choose the Board of Equalization route, which has no filing fee, and present 3-5 comparable sales.
