FAQ

What is the DeKalb County property tax appeal deadline?

Generally 45 days from the date on your Annual Notice of Assessment. File PT-311A or complete the online appeal at efile.dekalbcountyga.gov before that window closes. Portal outages do not extend the deadline.

Where do I file a DeKalb County assessment appeal?

With DeKalb County Property Appraisal—not the Tax Commissioner. File online with the last 8 digits of the 10-digit Access Code, or mail/hand-deliver to 325 Swanton Way, Decatur, GA 30030. DeKalb does not accept faxed or emailed appeals.

Should I mix Brookhaven condo comps with Decatur single-family sales?

Usually no. DeKalb submarkets and building types are different buyer pools. Match city, product type, and phase unless you can document a clear adjustment.

Does Protestly appear at DeKalb BOE hearings?

No. Protestly builds a print-ready comparable sales packet for $29.99 that you can attach to PT-311A and present yourself.
