What property tax and exemption rules apply when relocating to Roswell?

Roswell property tax starts with an assessment set at 40 percent of fair market value, then a homestead exemption lowers the taxable amount for an owner-occupied home. Georgia's statewide homestead exemption is $2,000 off assessed value, and Fulton County and the city can add larger exemptions a new resident must apply for separately. The millage rate that turns assessed value into a bill is set annually by each jurisdiction, so a relocating buyer should confirm the current figure with the Fulton County tax commissioner.
