Who you'll work with
Tax Appeal HQ isn't a national chain or a call center. I'm a Milton resident of over 50 years and a Georgia Tech grad, and I've spent years inside Fulton County's assessment system — from Buckhead estates to Milton horse country — how values get set, where they go wrong, and what actually wins at the Board of Equalization.
I work every case personally: the analysis, the evidence, the filing, and the hearing. And if your number looks fair, I'll tell you that too — for free. That's the whole point of an honest read.

How it works
Most of this is done before you ever pay a dollar — because we won't ask you to until there's a win to share.
We pull your county assessment and recent comparable sales in seconds — the same public records the county uses to set your bill.
Free · instantWe tell you if you're over-assessed and how strong the case really is. If your number looks fair, we say so — plainly, and at no cost.
The truth, not a pitchWe file it, build the evidence, and represent you at the Fulton County Board of Equalization. You pay nothing unless we win.
No win, no feeThe honest difference
We work on contingency — no win, no fee — so we only make money when we actually cut your tax bill. A weak appeal costs us, not you. So we won't take one.
Most firms file everything that signs and hope a few land. We built the opposite: an AI that reads your real numbers and gives it to you straight — even when "straight" means don't bother this year.
If you don't have a case, the most valuable thing we can do is tell you.
Typical appeal firms
Tax Appeal HQ
Win once, save for three years
Georgia's law has a quiet gift for homeowners. When you win an appeal, the 299(c) value freeze locks in your reduced assessment for the appeal year and the next two years — the county generally can't raise it back up during that window.
So a single successful appeal isn't a one-year discount. It's three years of a lower bill from one fight.
Codified at OCGA §48-5-299(c). Your appeal is your legal right under OCGA §48-5-311.
Illustrative — a $90,000 reduction
$3,150/yr
Knock $90,000 off an over-assessment at a ~3.5% effective rate and you save about $3,150 a year — held steady across the freeze.
Illustrative only — your numbers depend on your parcel and the current millage rate. We'll show you the real figure when we review your case.
Straight answers
Yes — completely. Type in your address and we pull your real county assessment and tell you whether you look over-assessed. No card, no signup, no catch. The honest read costs you nothing.
We work on contingency: a share of what we save you, only after we win. If we don't win, you owe nothing. We'll spell out the exact percentage before you ever sign — no surprises.
Then you pay us nothing. That's the whole point of "no win, no fee" — the risk is ours, not yours. It's also why we won't take a case we don't believe in: we only get paid when you actually save money.
Almost never. We represent you at the Fulton County Board of Equalization and handle the evidence, the paperwork, and the appearance. In most cases you never have to show up — you just get the result.
It varies with the county's calendar, but expect a few months from filing to resolution. We file within the appeal window, then keep you posted as your case moves through the Board. The 299(c) freeze means the payoff lasts well beyond that.
Yes. Appealing your assessment is your right under Georgia law (OCGA §48-5-311), and non-attorney representation before the County Board of Equalization is expressly allowed. We're a property-tax representation service — not a law firm. If a case needs to escalate to Superior Court, we refer you to a licensed attorney.
