How many digits is a parcel number in Georgia?

How much are Georgia property taxes?
All property in Georgia is taxed at 40% of its full market value. Exemptions, like a homestead exemption, reduce your taxable value.
Property assessment sets the dollar value of a property for tax purposes. This matters because Georgia property tax rates must align with your property’s value under the ad valorem system.
To find your tax amount, the taxing authorities multiply your taxable value by their set rate. A non-ad valorem tax works differently and charges fees for roads, fire services, garbage, lighting, drainage, and other services, depending on your county or city.
There are three methods to assess a property.
- The Replacement Method
Assessors estimate the cost to rebuild a structure using current labor and material rates. They subtract depreciation and add the land value. - The Sales Comparison Method
Assessors review sales of similar homes nearby. They adjust the value based on unique features. A house with a basketball court may gain value. - The Income Method
Assessors use this method for business and investment properties. They calculate value by reviewing annual income after expenses and comparing expected returns to similar properties.
