The Gwinnett County Board of Assessors recently mailed approximately 283,000 annual Notices of Assessment to residential and commercial property owners.

State law requires property value assessment notices be sent along with a reason for any change in value from last year. The current year’s value on the notice will be the value used by the Tax Commissioner in calculating property taxes later in the year, but it is not tax bill.

About 57 percent of property owners in Gwinnett will see a change in value from the previous year thanks in part to a real estate market that remains relatively positive. According to information provided by the Gwinnett County Tax Assessor’s Office, the county uses all available data to conservatively value each property.

According to state law, the estimated amount of taxes cannot be appealed; only the current year’s value can be appealed. Property owners have 45 days from the date on their annual notice of assessment to file an appeal.
