More Than 2,000 File Property Tax Appeals

GEORGIA -- About 4.6 percent of the 52,300 landowners who received property assessment notices in
May filed appeals by the July 7 deadline, according to Sandra Ferguson, Carroll County chief appraiser.

“We had 2,420 appeals filed,” Ferguson said Monday. “Last Friday, we mailed out new values to 355
taxpayers. They have 30 days to accept the value or appeal it to the Board of Equalization.”

This compares with about 1,800 appeals filed last year.

She said in 122 cases, the board of assessors reviewed the appeals and felt there were no changes to be
made. These were sent on to the Board of Equalization, she added.

“Last year was the first year we mailed assessment notices to everybody,” Ferguson said. “We figured
we would have more appeals this year since some people weren’t aware of what it was last year.”
