Property Tax Calculation
Georgia does not have a statewide property tax. The Department of Revenue is responsible for ensuring that property in Georgia is assessed uniformly and equally between and within the counties.
DeKalb County Property Appraisal Department establishes the appraised value, also known as fair market value or market value, for all taxable real property in the county. Market value has been defined by The Supreme Court as the sale price of real estate as agreed upon between a willing buyer and willing seller, with neither being under duress to buy or sell.
Land value | $149,800 | ||||||
Building value | + | $598,300 | |||||
Market value | = | $748,100 |
Assessed Value
DeKalb County Property Appraisal Department is also responsible for determining the assessed value of the properties. Assessed value represents 40% of a property's market value.
Land assessed value | $59,920 | ||||||
Bulding assessed value | + | $239,320 | |||||

Exemptions
Various property tax exemptions are available in DeKalb County which may lower the property's tax bill. These are deducted from the total property assessed value to give the property's taxable value.
We have no information whether any exemptions currently apply to this property, therefore the taxable value is equal to the assessed value.
Property tax is calculated by multiplying the property's assessed value by all the millage rates applicable to it and is an estimate of what an owner not benefiting from any exemptions would pay.
The rates are expressed as millages (i.e the actual rates multiplied by 1000).
Tax description | Assessed value | Millage rate | Tax amount | ||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
General Opns | $299,240 | x | 8.9880 | = | $2,689.57 |
Hospitals | $299,240 | x | 0.4760 | = | $142.44 |

Unic Bonds | $299,240 | x | 0.4900 | = | $146.63 |
School Opns | $299,240 | x | 23.0800 | = | $6,906.46 |
City Millage | $299,240 | x | 2.7400 | = | $819.92 |
City Bond | $299,240 | x | 0.5500 | = | $164.58 |
Property tax | $299,240 | x | 39.4830 | = | $11,815 |
