What is Form PT-311A in Fulton County?

How do I file a Fulton County property tax appeal online?

Use the Board of Assessors property-appeals portal at fultonassessor.org. Save the on-screen filing ID and confirmation email. If no filing ID appears, treat the appeal as not submitted and try again or file by mail/in person.

Should I choose Board of Equalization on PT-311A?

Most residential owners choose the Board of Equalization because it is the standard citizen-panel path without arbitration fees. Arbitration and hearing-officer options can add cost and rules—confirm fees before selecting them.

What is 85% billing while a Fulton appeal is pending?

Georgia allows temporary tax billing at 85% (or 100%) of assessed value during an appeal. Fulton defaults to 85% billing under state rules if you do not specify otherwise. Pay temporary bills when issued to avoid penalties.
