Notice to Taxpayers

In compliance with Georgia Law 48-5-264.1 requiring reasonable notice in advance of the appraisal staff visiting property while conducting official business, this notice serves to inform the property owner that obtaining a building permit and/or the filing of an appeal will require the appraisal staff to visit the property to verify property information. Prior to the property review by the Board of Assessors, members of the county appraisal staff will conduct an on-site review of the property.

All members of the appraisal staff visiting your property will display Cook County identification with a photo, and will drive marked county vehicles.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
