Operating under the Georgia Revenue Codes, the Board of Tax Assessors
is responsible for the appraisal and assessment of all Residential,
Commercial, and Personal Property in Hall County. Property is appraised
at 100% of its fair market value and assessed at 40% of that value.
The Board of Tax Assessors is a five member body of appointed
citizens of Hall County, serving on a part time basis, who meet
every Wednesday at 8:00 a.m. unless otherwise posted. They are appointed
for staggered terms of four, five, or six years by the Hall County
Board of Commissioners and operate autonomously. A Chairman is elected
on an annual basis. The Board of Tax Assessors hires a Chief Appraiser
to administer the functions of the Property Appraisal and Assessment
Administration.
Office hours are 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday.
The office is closed on legal holidays. All public information is
available for review, and copies may be obtained for a nominal fee.
We are located in the Joint Administration Building, 300 Green Street,
Room 203, Gainesville, GA, 30501.
Real Estate Property Tax Returns are received in this office
from January 1st to March 1st of each year. All Returns must be
POSTMARKED by the U.S. Postal Service no later than March 1st. If
you feel your appraised value is incorrect, you may file a Property
Tax Return to declare what you believe to be the fair market value
of your property. Our staff will review all Returns, and if we accept
your Return Value, that value will be used for property tax billing
that year. If we do not accept your Return Value, we will mail an
assessment change notice to you, which will give you 30 days to
file an appeal. Assessment Change Notices are mailed in mid-April
of each year.
Assessment Change Notices are mailed out to property owners
whose values have changed. The notices are mailed in mid-April.
An opportunity to appeal is afforded and is explained in detail
in the notice.
