Heads Up About Fulton County Property Tax Bills

If you’re thinking about an investment property in Fulton County, you should be aware that the Fulton County Board of Assessors announced a 25 percent median increase in the year’s home appraisals. Last year, Fulton County residents complained about drastic assessment increases. After those complains, Fulton County decided to keep assessments the same as the year before. Still, that won’t work this year. See, according to law, tax assessments must be close to market value and Fulton is doing very well.

Still, in Fulton County, the board of assessors did tell the public they would investigate properties that might have been wrongly appraised. In total, the board will have to review over 80,000 properties though. Tax bills will arrive any day now.

Still, just this week, WSB-TV Atlanta reported that Fulton County now faces legal action. The county is accused of “sales chasing,” or raising the assessment to its sales price while leaving other properties unchanged. Reportedly, one lawyer is considering a class action lawsuit over the matter.

There are great investment properties in Fulton County. That is certain. Just be prepared ahead of time for the possibility that taxes may be higher than you’ve anticipated.
