Property Owners Overcharged

A report to be released today commissioned by the Atlanta Neighborhood Development Partnership will release information that supports the findings of an AJC investigation that was published in a series of articles in December. The findings confirm the report that tens of thousands of homes were overvalued last year by county tax assessors. This report aims to take an educated guess as to by how much homeowners overpaid in the 5 major metro counties. The report goes on to say that areas hit hardest by foreclosures overpaid the most on average, and it identifies those zip codes hardest hit.

A zip code where I know many of you own homes was listed as one of the 15 hardest hit in the metro area: 30315.

There is more information in the article linked below.

As I've mentioned before, if you are appealing your assessment and would like some help putting together comparable properties for your case, don't hesitate to contact me. It's something I can help you put together.
