Whitfield County, GA Property Tax information

A property's fair market value, also known as market value, is the amount for which a property would sell in a competitive and open market, presuming that both buyer and seller are knowledgeable about the sale, allow sufficient time for it, and are not affected by undue pressures (e.g. foreclosures and bankruptcy).

A property's assessed values represent a part of the adjusted fair market values shown above. The assessed values will be obtained by applying an assessment coefficient of 40% to the market values displayed above, and will represent the foundation upon which taxing authorities determine the amount of real estate taxes to be paid

Base tax is an estimate of what an owner not benefiting from tax exemptions or deductions would pay and is calculated by multiplying the assessed value with the corresponding tax rates.

A variety of property tax exemptions are available in Whitfield County, and these may be deducted from the assessed value to give the property's taxable value.
Current tax represents the amount the present owner pays, including exemptions and special fees.

Actual taxes might differ from the figures displayed here due to various abatement, financial assistance programs or to street lights and solid waste fees.
