Frequently Asked Questions
How do I appeal my Gwinnett County property tax assessment?
You have 45 days from the postmark date on your Annual Notice of Assessment to file a written appeal with the Board of Tax Assessors at 75 Langley Drive, Lawrenceville. File online, by mail, or in person. The Board of Assessors will review your appeal and may adjust the value or forward it to the Board of Equalization. The BOE hearing is free, conducted by a panel of three citizens appointed by the Grand Jury, and supervised by the Clerk of Superior Court. Hearings are available by WebEx or in person. Ownwell handles the process and only charges if you save.
What is the 3-year freeze and how does it work in Gwinnett County?
A successful BOE appeal that achieves any reduction in assessed value locks in the new lower value for three years. Starting in 2025, you must actually receive a reduction — attending the hearing alone no longer triggers the freeze. A freeze on your 2025 value would apply for 2025, 2026, and 2027. You could appeal again in 2028 for a new freeze. This makes thorough evidence preparation especially important.
Why did Gwinnett opt out of the HB 581 floating homestead exemption?
HB 581 established a floating homestead exemption that caps annual assessment increases at the rate of inflation for homestead properties. Gwinnett County and its school districts chose not to adopt this exemption — meaning Gwinnett homeowners receive no statutory inflation cap on year-over-year assessment increases, unlike neighboring counties that adopted HB 581. Your assessed value in Gwinnett can rise significantly in a single year based on market conditions alone, with no limit. The 3-year freeze from a successful BOE appeal is the primary protection available.
