The Habersham County Board of Assessor’s has announced that beginning in July, a comprehensive, county-wide re-appraisal will be conducted for the ’24 – ’25 tax year, effective January 1, 2025.
ALL PROPERTY (residential, commercial, industrial, agricultural, vacant land, etc.) will be included in this appraisal process. This process is in compliance with GA Code 560 – 11 – 10 - .09 which states: “All real property parcels should be physically inspected at least every three years to ascertain that property information records are current.”
McCormick & Associates of Gainesville, GA have been contracted by our Board of County Commissioners to conduct this county-wide re- appraisal project. Components of this project include:
On Site Visit – field appraisers (with proper identification) will visit each property to validate improvements and other factors affecting the property valuation.
Analysis of Market Sales and Construction Costs – recent market sales and new construction costs will be evaluated to help determine fair market value for each property.
Income Analysis – will be applied to income producing properties to help determine fair market value.
Please be reminded that the Tax Assessor’s Office does not determine the amount of taxes you pay. The role of the Tax Assessor’s Office / Board of Assessor’s is to determine the fair market value of each property.
Your taxes are determined by the millage rate set by each municipality, the County School Board and the Board of Commissioner’s to provide income to meet their respective budget projections.
Please feel free to contact our Tax Assessor’s Office @ 706 / 839 – 0100 if you have any questions regarding this notice.
Appreciatively,
Habersham County Board of Assessor’s
