Operating under the Georgia Revenue Codes, the Board of Tax Assessors is responsible for the appraisal and assessment of all Taxable 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 three member body of appointed citizens of Hall County, serving on a part time basis, who meet each Wednesday unless otherwise posted. They are appointed by the Hall County Board of Commissioners and operate autonomously. A Chairman, Vice Chairman, and Secretary are elected on an annual basis. The Board of Tax Assessors hires a Chief Personal Property Appraiser to administer the functions of the Personal 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 Henry Ward Way, Suite 203, Gainesville, GA 30501.

Personal Property Tax Returns are received in this office from January 1st to March 1st. You are responsible for reporting all taxable personal property. Failure to do so will result in penalties being assessed against you if applicable. If you own a business, airplane, or a boat and/or motor you must file a return. As a courtesy, return forms are mailed. However, failure to receive the forms from us by mail does not relieve you of the responsibility of filing the return. The forms are available for download within this site or can be requested by calling the personal property division at 770-531-6749. If you do not receive your return form by mid-January, please call us at 770-531-6749. All returns must be POSTMARKED by the U. S. Postal Service no later than March 1st.

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.
