Property Assessments On The Way

(From Floyd County) The Floyd Board of Assessors will mail the 2008 property assessment notices Thursday, May 15. Only those property owners with increased valuations or special situations will receive one. The assessment notices reflect the current property values.

All property owners who feel their new values are incorrect should file a written appeal. A property owner has 45 days from the date of the notice to file an appeal.

Appeals should be written to:

Floyd County Board of Assessors

4 Government Plaza, Suite 10

Rome, GA 30161-2803

The letter should include the map reference from the assessment notice, an estimate of what the value should be, a brief reason for the appeal and a daytime phone number should you need to be contacted.

The Assessors’ office may be contacted by phone at the following numbers:

Real property 706.291.5143

706.291.5144

Personal property 706.291.5125

All questions should be directed to Bill McWhorter, Chief Appraiser.

The Assessors’ Office is moving from the first floor to the second floor of the Historic Courthouse. The move should be completed by May 19.
