Properties were reappraised this year. Unless there were physical changes made to the property in the past year, you should see an increase between 8% to 15% in your property's valuation, with an average around 10%. However, please take note that changes have been made to Georgia's, as well as Elbert County's, Homestead Exemption. The net effect of these changes means that most properties with a Regular Homestead should only see their property's tax liability increase approximately 5%-6%, and most properties with a Senior Homestead exemption will see their tax liabilities decrease, despite the increase to their property's fair market value.

Also note, shortly after the mailing date, a PDF copy of your property's Notice of Annual Assessment will be linked on your property's information page on this website.
