In light of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, the Hall County Tax Assessors office will not mail real property notices of current assessment until May 1.
The notices were originally scheduled to be mailed on Friday, April 10 to all owners of real property. Real property consists of land and any improvements thereon. As required by state law, this annual notice will include a written explanation of the value of taxable property and an estimate of the property tax bill.
"We are delaying this year's mailing to be consistent with what other counties are doing statewide," Chief Appraiser Steve Watson said. "Although Gov. Kemp's shelter in place order has been extended, our staff is working remotely and will be able to assist property owners with questions and can help guide them through the appeal process as needed."
Watson reminded property owners that a property tax assessment notice is not a tax bill. The estimate of taxes on the notice is based on the current year's assessed value and the previous year's tax rate. The 2020 property tax rate will not be determined until it is approved by the various governing authorities, the County, schools and municipalities.
In addition, the Hall County Board of Assessors has approved electronic appeals. Property owners may now exercise their right to appeal via email to [email protected] or by fax at 770.531.3968. For more information, email [email protected] or call 770-531-6720. More detailed information on the appeal process and deadlines can be found here.
