Is it worth appealing my Marietta property taxes?

Appealing a Marietta property tax bill challenges the assessed value the county placed on the home, and Georgia bases that assessed value on 40 percent of fair market value. Whether an appeal is worth pursuing depends on how far that assessed value sits above what recent comparable sales in the same Marietta neighborhood actually support. A local agent can pull those comparables to show whether the gap is real before any paperwork gets filed.
