A property tax appeal is a formal process to challenge your property’s assessed value, aiming to lower your property taxes. It’s important because property taxes are a significant annual expense. With our 20 years of experience in commercial and residential appraising, Georgia Property Savings Solutions specializes in guiding property owners through this process to ensure fair taxation.
If you believe your property’s assessed value doesn’t reflect its true market value, it’s worth exploring a property tax appeal. Our team can assist you in determining whether your assessment is fair and if you have grounds for an appeal. With our extensive expertise and experience, we thoroughly evaluate your property’s assessment and identify any discrepancies or errors.
Correcting mistakes made by the county office is crucial to ensure fair property taxation. Using the 45-day window to file an appeal can add stress to your already busy life.

The “299c Freeze” is a state law provision that freezes property values after a successful appeal, offering stability and potential tax savings. Georgia Property Savings Solutions helps clients maximize these benefits by ensuring timely appeals and successful outcomes.
Lowering property taxes can positively impact your escrow account, reducing the amount needed for expenses like property taxes and insurance. With decreased property taxes, your monthly escrow contribution may decrease, stabilizing or even lowering your mortgage payment and providing financial relief for homeowners. Georgia Property Savings Solutions specializes in helping homeowners reduce property taxes, ensuring a predictable and manageable mortgage payment.

Our experienced team will negotiate with the assessment staff and attend formal hearings on your behalf, ensuring your interests are well-represented throughout the process.
Not necessarily. While licensed appraisers use specific comparable sales, a property tax consultant can employ various sales, including the lowest ones in the neighborhood. Additionally, we consider the assessments of comparable properties to support a lower value — a factor that fee appraisers typically do not consider.
Most real estate professionals understand that tax assessments are unreliable indicators of market value. They typically rely on more accurate methods to determine a property’s listing price. Therefore, a lower tax assessment is unlikely to directly impact the selling price of your property.
