How it works
In Forsyth County, property is assessed under Georgia law at 40% of its fair market value. Local taxing authorities, including the county government, school system, and certain districts such as fire districts, adopt ad valorem tax rates. This estimator converts market value to assessed value using the statutory ratio and multiplies it by a combined local tax rate.
Examples
If a property has a fair market value, the assessed value is calculated as 40% of that amount. The estimated tax is then calculated by applying the combined local ad valorem tax rate to the assessed value.
