DeKalb County GA Assessment Appeal

DeKalb County Property Tax Appeal

O’Connor has been one of America’s most trusted property tax experts for 50 years and this is thanks to many factors:

  • The O’Connor team is loaded with expert tax agents, attorneys, assessors, and researchers, each with a passion to help their clients
  • We know how to deal with the higher burden of proof required in tax appeals in DeKalb County and across Georgia in 2025
  • We have built a strong understanding of how the DeKalb County Board of Assessors operates and know how to negotiate with them
  • A proprietary database that allows for a data-driven approach to analysis of property sales, trends, and the true value of homes and businesses.



O’Connor Will Determine the Best Course of Action for Your Appeal

  • Appeals to the DeKalb County Board of Assessors
  • Appearances before the Board of Equalization (BOE)
  • Meetings with a Hearing Officer to settle high-dollar properties

Factors We Will Appeal

  • Value : We can dispute the fair market value of your property against the Dekalb County tax assessment. Thanks to mass appraisals practiced by the DeKalb Board of Assessors, many homes are overpriced with no regard for their condition or surroundings.
  • Uniformity : We will search for sales records with our advanced database to look for similar properties that sold in the previous year. If properties are selling below what your property is worth, that is an indicator that you are being overvalued.

DeKalb Assessment Freeze

In previous years, any property that appealed would have its value frozen for three years. This has changed in 2025 so that only successful appeals with a reduction will receive the benefits of a freeze. With our help, you have a much better chance of landing this freeze, which halts the growth of your assessment in its tracks.
