We check whether an appeal will actually lower your tax bill, after caps and exemptions, before you pay. If it won't, we'll tell you, and we won't sell you one. If it will, we mail you a ready-to-sign kit: the appeal form filled in, recent sales of similar homes, and a return envelope addressed to your county board of assessors. You sign it and mail it — a flat $89. Keep 100% of your savings.
Georgia’s Department of Revenue publishes how many appeals are filed but not how they turn out, so there is no official Georgia success rate to quote — and you should be sceptical of any service that quotes you one. Here is what the record does show.
Georgia homeowners appeal in large numbers. Fulton led the state in 2024, followed by DeKalb (18,354), Gwinnett (17,813) and Cobb (14,509).
36,152 appeals across 366,820 parcels. Which also means about nine in ten Fulton owners accepted their assessment without testing it.
Since Georgia publishes no outcome data, the closest rigorous benchmark is a Quarterly Journal of Economics study of Cook County assessor records (2002–2015): appeals succeeded 67% of the time, with a mean reduction of 12%. A different state, and shown here only as context.
These are published results for the jurisdiction shown, not TaxAppeal USA results, and not a prediction for any individual property. Outcomes vary widely by county and by property. TaxAppeal USA is a document preparation service and does not guarantee any reduction. The Georgia DOR appeal file records how many appeals were filed and where they were heard. It contains no “value reduced” column, so any Georgia “approval rate” you see advertised is not coming from the state.
Many Georgia firms charge 25–40% of your savings. Here is how TaxAppeal compares.
On a $2,000 annual reduction, you would pay $500–$800 in fees every single year.
Same $2,000 reduction. You pay $89 once and keep $1,911. Every year after that, the savings are 100% yours.
From Atlanta to Savannah, Augusta to Columbus — every Georgia homeowner can appeal.
Your board of assessors, appeal deadline and local market data are all set by your county — find your city below.
Different Georgia metros have different appraisal boards, market trends, and local nuances. Select your city for a tailored guide.
Georgia gives you 45 days from your assessment notice to appeal. We check first; the kit is $89 flat — no percentage cuts. You sign it and mail it.
TaxAppeal USA is a self-service document-preparation service. We prepare a ready-to-sign appeal kit and mail it to you; you sign it and mail it to the county yourself. In every state we serve, including Florida, we are not property tax consultants, agents, or representatives, we do not provide tax or legal advice, and we do not file appeals or represent customers before any appraisal district, board of assessors, board of equalization, value adjustment board, or review board. Every appeal, protest and petition is prepared for the property owner, signed by the owner, and mailed by the owner in the owner’s name. In Florida your petition is signed by you as the property owner under section 194.011(3), Florida Statutes, and the county’s Value Adjustment Board filing fee is paid by you directly to the county. TaxAppeal USA does not sign as your representative, does not appear before the Board, and does not present evidence or argument at a hearing.
