How do I find out if my Cumming home is over-assessed?

Checking whether your Cumming home is over-assessed starts with comparing the Forsyth County Tax Assessor's stated value against what similar homes on your street have actually sold for recently, not against the assessor's number alone. Georgia assesses at 40 percent of fair market value, so if that figure implies a fair market value higher than recent sales support, you likely have grounds to appeal. Forsyth County runs a formal appeal process with a filing deadline each year. Joel Boss can pull the comparable Cumming sales you would need for that appeal.
