TAX FREEZE: How to File & Win Property Tax Appeals in Georgia!
“IMAGINE SLASHING YOUR PROPERTY TAXES & THEN FREEZING THEM FOR 3-YEARS AT A TIME!”
Every year, hundreds of thousands of assessment notices are sent to property owners throughout Georgia. Every year, these notices are ignored by most unsuspecting property owners.
Property owners overpay property taxes by hundreds or sometimes thousands of dollars each year. This happens because of large flaws of the mass appraisal system.
Even for the hearty few who know about property tax appeals, little “streetwise” information is provided by local governments. Reliable “how-to” information is difficult to understand and hard to find. At long last, there is now a book that rips the curtain away! This book explains how property tax appeals in Georgia work and how you can use the process to YOUR advantage.
In Georgia, not only can property owners get reductions in property taxes but they can also “freeze” their property values for three tax years! However, the only way to get this is to go through the tax appeal process.
This book is packed with real-world information, personal insights, tactics, and strategies you will not find published anywhere. It is based on the author’s real-world, hands-on experiences, interviews, and research. Save lots of money. Take control and stop overpaying property taxes!
