Forsyth County mails 2025 property assessment notices to owners
Forsyth County owners got 2025 assessment notices showing the values behind future tax bills. Residents have 45 days to appeal online after checking exemptions and comparable properties.
Forsyth County mailed 2025 property assessment notices to owners and posted them online during the week of June 23. Personal property assessments began mailing Friday, June 27, and the notices are informational, not bills.
Each notice shows a property’s assessed fair market value and the exemptions that will be applied before taxes are finalized. Property owners have 45 days from the date on the notice to appeal the assessed value if they believe it is inaccurate or does not reflect current market conditions. The county’s online assessment page lets residents review comparable properties and file an appeal digitally. Residents should check both the value and any exemptions carefully because those figures feed directly into the eventual tax calculation.
This year’s notice changed under House Bill 581 and House Bill 92. In Box C, the old end-of-year tax estimate is gone, replaced by estimated rollback tax rates. The notice also removed the estimated millage lines for School Bond, County Bond and Fire Operations. Georgia law now requires the estimated rollback rate for each taxing authority to be certified to the county board of tax assessors and tax commissioner for inclusion on the assessment notice.
The county’s 2024 countywide real and personal property value reached $27,187,834,245, up from $25,096,408,859 in 2023. The Board of Commissioners intended to maintain the county’s combined current millage rate, but county M&O property taxes would still rise 5.88% over the rollback millage rate because of digest growth. The proposed County M&O rate was 4.791 mills, and the adopted 2025 millage schedule later set total millage at 24.522 mills, including County M&O at 4.791 mills, County Fire District at 2.805 mills, County Bond at 0.300 mills, School M&O at 15.208 mills and School Bonds at 1.418 mills.
Printed copies of the notice can be picked up at the Department of Water & Sewer office in the County Administration Building on Freedom Parkway in Cumming, and copies can also be mailed on request. Forsyth County’s homestead exemption deadline is generally due by April 1 to apply to the current year.
