Who decides how much my property is worth for tax purposes?
The Board of Assessors and their staff have the responsibility of determining the value of property in Murray County. Each year between January 1 and April 1, every property owner has the ability to declare a proposed value for their property (O.C.G.A. 48-5-9). These values are declared in the manner of "filing a return." Returns for real estate are filed in the tax assessor's office and returns for personal property are filed with the Board of Assessors. The Board of Assessors will review your proposed value, and if they disagree, an assessment notice with the Boards' value will be mailed to you.
