ASSESSMENT APPEALS | Candler County Appeals Form
NEW: Assessment Notices for 2023 were mailed on May 23, 2023. An appeal may be filed by July 07, 2023. You may
print an appeal form from this site. The form may be mailed to the address on the form, or hand delivered to the
Assessors' Office at the 25 W. Daniel Street, Metter, GA. Candler County does not accept faxed or emailed appeals.
A notice of assessment must be sent to the property owner each year. Upon receipt of this notice, the property owner
desiring to appeal must do so within 45 days of the date of the notice. The appeal is filed with the Board of Assessors,
which reviews the appeal filed and informs the taxpayer of its decision. If the Board of Assessors makes no changes,
the appeal is automatically forwarded to the County Board of Equalization. A hearing is scheduled, conducted and the
Board of Equalization renders its decision. If the taxpayer is still dissatisfied with the decision, an appeal to Superior
Court may be made.
In lieu of an administrative appeal with the Board of Equalization, an arbitration method of appeal is also available to
the taxpayer. The Board of Assessors can provide details regarding this procedure.
The assessment appeal may be made on the basis of taxability of the property, the value placed upon the property, or
the uniformity of that value when compared to other similar properties in the county. The appeal must be filed within
the applicable time period and cannot be filed after that time. Additionally, the appeal should not be based on any
complaint regarding the amount of taxes levied on the property.
Note: During the appeal period and for the remainder of 2023 our appraiser staff will be out inspecting property
throughout the county verifying assessment information.
