DeKalb Property Owners: The deadline to file an appeal regarding your annual assessment notice is Friday, July 18, 2025. For more information, or if you have not received an assessment notice, please contact the Property Appraisal office at 404-371-0841 or visit https://www.dekalbcountyga.gov/property-appraisal/appeal-process.
The valuation of property in DeKalb County is handled by the Property Appraisal & Assessment Department. Each year, the department mails assessment notices to property owners in May or early June. If you disagree with the current year value, appeals must be filed within 45 days of the notice; instructions to file an appeal are included in the assessment notice.
Due to a recent legislative change (HB92), taxpayers have until the assessment notice appeal window to apply for a homestead exemption in person at any three Tax Commissioner’s office locations.
If you applied for an exemption using your 2024 tax return, your status has been determined for 2025. Do not apply again.
If you applied for a senior exemption using your 2023 tax return before the April 1 deadline, you may re-apply using your 2024 return during the appeal window.
Exemption applications received after the assessment notice appeal deadline will be processed for the following tax year.
