Hall County Board of Tax Assessors
The Hall County Board of Tax Assessors is responsible for the annual valuation of all taxable real and personal property. The office produces a timely, equitable and acceptable tax digest. The digest meets all state statutes and legal requirements of the Georgia Department of Revenue.
If you buy a $300,000 home in unincorporated Hall County, your estimated property tax will be around $3,086.52. For a $750,000 home, expect a tax bill of around $7,716.30 based on 2022 millage rates.
The property valuation is what your taxes are based on. It is important to compare property valuations, not taxes, when filing an appeal. Values determine the tax base for the county.
