Georgia property taxes by county
Across Georgia, the median owner-occupied home pays $2,341 a year in real-estate taxes on a median home value of $303,300 — an effective property-tax rate of 0.772%. That ranks Georgia #27 of 51 states and the District of Columbia (1 = highest). This page carries all 159 Georgia county-equivalents in the Census data — 158 with a published effective rate — sortable by rate, taxes paid, home value, income, or five-year change. 14 of them also carry a full detail card here — every median with its Census margin of error, both rankings, the six nearest counties, and the five-year change. It also sets out how property tax actually works in Georgia: how property is assessed, which exemptions exist and who qualifies, the deadline and body for an appeal, and the payment schedule and penalties — each hand-sourced from official Georgia sources. Figures are U.S. Census Bureau ACS 2020-2024 5-year estimates.

Median real-estate taxes ÷ median home value — a ratio of two independently-estimated medians, not a statutory (millage) rate.
How property tax varies across Georgia
Across Georgia's 158 county-equivalents with a published rate, the effective property-tax rate runs from 1.527% in Stewart County down to 0.333% in Fannin County — a 4.6× spread inside a single state, which is why a statewide average tells a buyer very little.
The largest median real-estate tax bill in Georgia is $4,033 in Fulton County, which ranks #68 of 158 by RATE — while the state's highest rate, 1.527%, is in Stewart County, where the median bill is $994. Dollars and rate are different questions and rank counties differently.
Measured against the national median effective rate of 0.937%, 48 of Georgia's 158 ranked counties sit above it and 110 below. Georgia as a whole ranks #27 of 51 (1 = highest).
Median home value statewide is $303,300, but within Georgia it ranges from $550,400 in Forsyth County to $65,100 in Stewart County — the denominator of the effective rate, and the main reason two counties with similar bills can show very different rates.
Statewide, the median real-estate tax bill equals about 3% of median household income. That share is heaviest in Clarke County (4.9%) and lightest in Treutlen County (1.3%).
Comparing the non-overlapping Census periods 2015–2019 and 2020–2024, median real-estate taxes rose by a statistically significant amount in 125 of Georgia's 158 counties with a comparable trend, fell significantly in 0, and showed no statistically significant change in 33.

County detail — 14 Georgia counties in depth
Full figures for the Georgia counties most searched for, each with the Census margin of error on every median, both rankings, the five-year change, and the six nearest county-equivalents by centroid distance — nearby, not necessarily bordering, and cross-state neighbours included. For any individual property's assessed value, exemptions and bill, use that county's own assessor or appraisal district; per-county assessor URLs are never guessed here (why).

How property tax works in Georgia
Assessment, exemptions, appeals and payment are set by Georgia law and practice, so they apply to every county in the table above. Each fact is taken from an official government source and linked to it.
- How property is assessed
- Property is assessed at 40% of fair market value by the county Board of Tax Assessors, with the state Revenue Commissioner examining county digests for uniform assessment. source →
- Exemptions & credits
- A homestead exemption applies, including a "Floating Homestead Exemption" tied to an annual inflation index (2024's HB 581), plus a Freeport exemption for certain business personal property. source →
- Appealing an assessment
- A written appeal (Form PT-311A) is due to the county Board of Tax Assessors within 45 days of the Annual Assessment Notice; it proceeds to a Board of Equalization hearing, with the county bearing the burden of proof. source →
- Payment schedule & penalties
- Property is returned (declared) between January 1 and April 1 each year; taxes are generally due by December 20, though some counties set earlier deadlines or split payment into two installments. source →
- Why rates vary within the state
- Millage (tax) rates are set independently and annually by each county's board of commissioners, the local school board, and municipal governments. source →
Hand-sourced from official government sources — not a substitute for your own assessor's notice, and not legal or tax advice. Where a fact isn't confirmed on an official source, it is left off rather than guessed, which is why some states show fewer rows than others.
Frequently asked questions
- What is the average property tax rate in Georgia?
- Statewide, Georgia's effective property-tax rate is 0.772% — the state median real-estate taxes ($2,341) divided by the state median home value ($303,300), from the Census ACS 2020-2024 5-year estimates. The national figure is about 0.937%, which puts Georgia at #27 of 51 (1 = highest). Individual counties vary widely; the table above shows every one.
- Which Georgia county has the highest property taxes?
- By effective rate, Stewart County is highest in Georgia at 1.527% (median bill $994), and Fannin County is lowest at 0.333% (median bill $1,021). Ranked by dollars paid rather than rate the order changes, because home values differ so much across the state — the table above shows both columns and sorts on either.
- What property tax exemptions are available in Georgia?
- A homestead exemption applies, including a "Floating Homestead Exemption" tied to an annual inflation index (2024's HB 581), plus a Freeport exemption for certain business personal property. Eligibility and filing are handled by your county assessor, and the exemption you qualify for changes your bill far more than the county you are in — the rates above are county medians and do not account for any exemption.
- How do I appeal a property tax assessment in Georgia?
- A written appeal (Form PT-311A) is due to the county Board of Tax Assessors within 45 days of the Annual Assessment Notice; it proceeds to a Board of Equalization hearing, with the county bearing the burden of proof. Missing the deadline usually means waiting a full year, so check the date on your own assessment notice rather than relying on a general figure.
- When are property taxes due in Georgia?
- Property is returned (declared) between January 1 and April 1 each year; taxes are generally due by December 20, though some counties set earlier deadlines or split payment into two installments. If your taxes are paid through a mortgage escrow account, your servicer pays on this schedule on your behalf.
- How is property assessed in Georgia?
- Property is assessed at 40% of fair market value by the county Board of Tax Assessors, with the state Revenue Commissioner examining county digests for uniform assessment. This is why an effective rate computed from market value — as every rate on this page is — will not match the millage rate printed on your bill: the two are applied to different bases.
