Johns Creek ranks among Georgia's wealthiest cities, with master-planned communities anchored by top-rated schools. Fulton County's approach often fails to capture nuanced value differences between gated and non-gated communities. We check whether an appeal will actually lower your tax bill, after caps and exemptions, before you pay. If it will, we mail you a ready-to-sign appeal kit for the Fulton County Board of Assessors — a flat $89. You sign it and mail it.
Georgia assesses property at 40% of fair market value — when that estimate is wrong, you overpay every year until you appeal.
The Fulton County Board of Assessors values thousands of properties using statistical models that apply broad market trends across entire neighborhoods. Your home's specific condition and location nuances are often missed — leading to inflated assessments.
With a median home value of $570,000 in Johns Creek, even a 5% over-assessment means $285 in excess annual taxes. Appealing is one of the highest-ROI decisions a Georgia homeowner can make.
Under O.C.G.A. § 48-5-311, every Fulton County homeowner has the right to appeal within 45 days of their Notice of Assessment. TaxAppeal USA prepares the form and the evidence; you sign it and mail it.
We compare your Johns Creek value with recent sales of similar homes in Fulton County and run your bill through the caps and exemptions. If an appeal won't lower your bill by more than our $89 fee, we tell you and don't sell you one.
Your appeal on Form PT-311A or the county's own form, filled in, with the sales evidence, a checklist and a return envelope addressed to the Fulton County Board of Assessors. A PDF copy of the full kit is also emailed to you the same day.

Unlike Texas and Florida, Georgia does not prohibit assessment increases from appeals. TaxAppeal USA reviews the market data before preparing your kit, and won't sell you one if the evidence doesn't support a lower value.

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.
