You’ll receive an update from EQUITAX showing your reduced tax bill.
Simple fees, in writing.
Small fee to open your file, then a share of the first year’s savings. Nothing if the county doesn’t lower your value.
Either way, the percentage is billed only after the reduction is final, and a value settled on appeal holds for three years under Georgia law. Commercial property valued at $3 million or more: no upfront fee, 25% of first-year savings, quoted by phone.

A little clarity
before you start.
What to gather, how an appeal works and what to expect from our team.
Explore the appeal guide →What does EQUITAX do?
We review Georgia property assessments, prepare supporting evidence and manage agreed appeal work and county correspondence.
What types of property can you review?
Homes, condos, rental properties and land, as well as offices, retail, apartments, hotels and industrial property. We don’t handle business personal property appeals. Tell us what you own so we can discuss the right scope.
Do you work in my county?
Yes, we serve all 159 Georgia counties. The county directory lists official local resources; a county does not need a published EQUITAX guide for us to take your appeal.
What documents should I gather?
Start with your assessment notice. Recent purchase records, condition photos and accurate property details help. Commercial reviews may also need income, expense and occupancy information.
Is an assessment notice the same as a tax bill?
No. An assessment notice reports the county’s valuation and appeal information. A tax bill states the amount due. Review the assessment notice promptly instead of waiting for the bill.
When do I need to appeal?
Georgia assessment appeals must be filed with the county Board of Tax Assessors within 45 days of the notice being sent. Check your notice for the date, and sign up early so we have time to file.
Georgia DOR appeal instructions ↗What happens after I sign up?
We open your file, study your county record and gather the evidence, then file the appeal before the deadline. You see every step in your portal, and you can call us any time.
Will you represent me at a hearing?
Yes. We prepare and present assessment evidence at applicable county hearings within the agreed engagement. Your advisor will explain the available appeal route and any additional representation needed.
Can you handle more than one property?
Yes. Your account can hold multiple properties, with each appeal and its documents kept separate. Properties with different fee schedules receive the appropriate engagement terms.
How will I know what is happening?
Your advisor records case updates, documents and dates in the client portal, and you get an email at every stage. You can also call or email the office to discuss your property.
How are fees agreed?
Two plans: $250 up front and 25% of first-year savings, or $150 up front and 35%. Commercial property at $3 million and above pays no upfront fee. Everything is in writing before you sign.
Does a successful appeal mean I receive a refund?
Not necessarily. A lower assessment may reduce a bill or lead to a county refund, depending on the account. Recorded savings are separate from confirmation of a reduced bill or received refund, and from EQUITAX invoice payments. Results are not guaranteed.
My property is in a trust. Can I still appeal?
Yes. The trustee signs the authorization and we handle the rest.
My property is owned by an LLC or another company.
Yes. An officer or member of the company signs the authorization on its behalf.
My land is under a conservation use covenant. Can I appeal?
Yes. The covenant changes how the county calculates value, not your right to appeal it.
I already filed an appeal myself. Can you take it over?
Usually, yes. With a signed authorization we can step in before the hearing. Call us with your appeal date.
