TAX ASSESSOR
BOARD OF ASSESSORS
The board of Tax Assessors in Webster County is
independent of the Tax Commissioner's Office. This board does not
set tax millage rates nor do we collect taxes.
Basically we are here to serve the public,
ensuring that the tax burden is distributed fairly throughout our
county. We are required to value property uniformly, as close to
"Fair Market Value" as possible. All the while, making certain that
our mass appraisal property valuations conform to Georgia State law.
Should you have any questions concerning our
office or its operations, please, do not hesitate to contact us.
ASSESSMENT APPEALS
When the Board of Tax Assessors changes the
value of property from the value in place for the preceding year or
from the value that was returned by the taxpayer for the current
year, a notice of change must be sent to the property owner. Upon
receipt of this notice, the property owner desiring to appeal the
change in value must do so within 45 days of the date of the notice.
The appeal is filed with the Board of Tax Assessors, which reviews
the appeal filed and informs the taxpayer of its decision. If the
Board of Tax Assessors makes no changes, the appeal is automatically
forwarded to the County Board of Equalization. A hearing is
scheduled, conducted and the Board of Equalization renders its
decision. If the taxpayer is still dissatisfied with the decision,
an appeal to Superior Court may be made.
In lieu of an administrative appeal with the
Board of Equalization, an arbitration method of appeal is also
available to the taxpayer. The Board of Tax Assessors can provide
details regarding this procedure.
The assessment appeal may be made on the basis
of taxability of the property, the value placed upon the property,
or the uniformity of that value when compared to other similar
properties in the county. The appeal must be filed within the
applicable time period and cannot be filed after that time.
Additionally, the appeal should not be based on any complaint
regarding the amount of taxes levied on the property.
