How do I find out what my Canton home is assessed at?

Your Canton home's assessed value is available directly from the Cherokee County Tax Assessor's office, either by searching the parcel online or calling with your address or parcel number. Georgia calculates assessed value at 40 percent of fair market value, and that figure is what your tax bill is based on before the millage rate is applied. Assessed value and market value are not the same number, and the assessor's figure often lags what your home would actually sell for.
