The Gwinnett County Board of Assessors have mailed approximately 280,000 annual notices of assessment to residential and commercial property owners. The annual notice includes an estimate of 2018 property taxes, but it is not a tax bill. The current year’s value will be the value used by the tax commissioner in calculating property taxes later in the year.

This year, about 59 percent of all properties in Gwinnett will see a change in value from the previous year due to market changes in property values.

Frequently asked questions have been printed on the back of the annual notice of assessment. Additional information and to view and print copies of annual assessments, research market values, and to file an appeal: www.gwinnett-assessor.com.

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. Property owners may also contact the Tax Assessor’s Office by email at taxpayer.services@gwinnettcounty.com or by telephone at 770.822.7200 for assistance.
