The Forsyth County Board of Assessors has mailed all Forsyth County
property owners their state-required 2025 Property Assessment Notices. Each property assessment
notice is informational and is not a bill.
The annual assessment notices were mailed to County residents on June 17 and will be available for
viewing online next week by visiting www.forsythco.com/assessment-notice. Property owners will have
the opportunity to appeal their property value as shown in the assessment notice for 45 days after the
date of the notice listed on the assessment.
“The property assessments that property owners will be receiving are, by Georgia law, based on fair
market value,” said Forsyth County Chief Appraiser Joel Benton. “We encourage property owners to
review their assessed values and exemptions that will be applied to their final bill.”
Recent legislation in Georgia, specifically House Bill 581 (HB 581) and House Bill 92 (HB 92), have
introduced significant state-wide changes to Box C of the Property Assessment notice. The changes
include: – –
Removal of property tax estimates and estimated millage rates for the School Bond, County
Bond and Fire Operations. This information has been replaced by the current year’s
Estimated Rollback Rate.
Inclusion of Current Year Estimated Rollback Rates estimated by each local taxing
authority (Forsyth County Schools and Forsyth County government operations), reflect the
millage rate needed to generate the same revenue as the previous year from the existing
property, excluding new construction or improvements. If the final adopted millage rate
exceeds this estimate, property tax bills must include a disclaimer stating that taxes have
been raised beyond the estimated rollback rate.
