Appraisal Department To Mail Property Assessment Notices

DOUGLASVILLE, GA – The Douglas County Appraisal Department will be mailing the Annual Assessment Notices to all owners of taxable real and personal property in the county on Friday, June 29.

The notice shows the amount of value the county proposes to place on the property as of January 1, 2018. The notice compares the 2018 value to the value from the previous year. There is also an estimate of the property tax bill that the property owner might receive on their new value if the millage rate remains the same as of 2017.

The notice will contain information about how to file an appeal. The appeal deadline is August 13. Approximately 58,000 notices will be mailed with the following breakdown: 82 percent will show an increase in value from last year, 12 percent will be the same as 2017 and 6 percent will see a decrease in value.
