Each year, it is important to review your proposed property tax notice if you own a commercial property or a single-family home. In Georgia, real estate taxes for some properties are calculated based on county market values that may be inaccurate due to several different factors.
Georgia is different from states like Florida in that there is no one-year market value cap, which could result in steep property tax bill increases. To determine whether or not there is evidence for a property tax assessment reduction, call one of our property tax consultants in Georgia.
The property tax assessment process in Chatham County and other Georgia communities is complicated and difficult to navigate. Because of this, it’s critical to partner with property tax consultants in your area who is an expert in the process. This will ensure you don’t miss any important deadlines and you complete all steps. In addition, a knowledgeable consultant will be familiar with the property values in your area and can help advise you on your cost-savings opportunities.
If you are looking to reduce your property taxes in Georgia, it is important to pay attention to when you receive your proposed property tax notice. You only have approximately 45 days to file an appeal once you receive that notice, so please contact us immediately to lower your taxes.
Our property tax appeal process has four important steps, including a property tax review, appeal filing, evidence collecting and exchanging, and hearing representation.
During your property tax review, we will visit your property to determine your eligibility for a reduction. With our experience in Chatham County, we are confident in our ability to assess the value of your property and can offer guidance on your next steps. It’s important that you have at least two weeks before the Chatham County property tax appeal deadline for us to begin the review process.
If we agree to move forward with filing a property tax appeal, the ARE Solutions team will take lead on filing the paperwork and getting the process started. We will collect $25 to cover the filing fees, and this will be your only investment up-front. If your appeal is successful, we will collect 33% of your savings for a 1-year period. The property tax appeal process with ARE Solutions is risk free and will save you time and money.
Once your appeal is filed, we will begin collecting evidence to support a reduction in your property tax rate. We will prepare and submit a detailed evidence package supporting our market value that will be presented at your Board of Equalization (BOE) hearing.
Finally, we will represent you at your BOE hearing in Chatham County. If your appeal is successful, we will make sure you receive a timely refund for any overages you’ve paid.

“Last year our firm used ARE Solutions to appeal our valuation and saved $3,320 or 26% of the initial real estate tax bill! It was well worth what little effort I had to make – I only wish I’d have done this years before. ”
