Fulton County Board of Assessors member Donald Johnson will continue his fight to keep his residential property appraiser’s license, which a state regulatory board revoked last month. The Georgia Real Estate Appraisers Board slapped him for overvaluing three quadruplexes and a townhouse in areas of Atlanta rife with mortgage fraud between 2005 and 2007.
Johnson hired a new attorney and filed an appeal last week in Superior Court, asking a judge to let him keep working as a private appraiser while the case is pending. He says the appraisers board committed an “abuse of discretion” by rejecting an Administrative Law judge’s recommendation that he be fined and suspended, instead pulling his license and depriving him of his livelihood.
