Gwinnett County property tax assessments mailed Friday
Property owners, some important mail is about to hit your mailboxes. It may not be a bill, but it's still really important. The county's Board of Assessors said it mailed property tax assessments Friday. The Annual Notice of Assessment discloses the value of the owner's property, which is used in calculating taxes. [DOWNLOAD: Free WSB-TV News app for alerts as news breaks] The county said the assessments will reflect new values for roughly 84% of residential properties and 54% of commercial properties. State law requires that property owners receive notices each year letting them know what the value of their property is as of Jan. 1. The notice gives last year's value and the 2025 value along with an explanation for any change in value. The Gwinnett County Assessors' Office comes up with the numbers by using available market data to value each property in compliance with state regulations. The Board of Assessors recommends that property owners look over their Annual Notice of Assessment to make sure it accurately represents their property and fair market value.
