Contact usEverything your county needs
Built specifically for county assessor offices — GovAppeal handles the complexity so your staff doesn't have to.
Property owners file appeals entirely online — no paper, no office visits. Parcel lookup, document uploads, and instant confirmation numbers included. Ability to withdraw application, reschedule hearing and track progress of the appeal.
Tax assessors review appeals, record decisions — reduced, no change, dismissed, settled — and the system notifies property owners automatically.
BOE Administrator schedule hearings, coordinate BOE members and appraisers. Auto-assign the next available slot or pick manually — with lunch breaks and slot gaps built in.
Manage both virtual and physical hearing rooms from the same interface. Configure each room's schedule, type, and assigned appraiser independently.
Confirmation emails, hearing reminders, and decision notices sent automatically using your county's email domain — keeping property owners informed at every step.
Generate reports on appeal volumes, decision outcomes, hearing utilization, and processing times. Export for board presentations and public records compliance.
Every status change, document upload, and decision is recorded with timestamp, actor, and reason — fully searchable and ready for public records requests.
Manage multiple tax years simultaneously. Configure submission windows, activate seasons, and automatically transition phases — no manual intervention needed.
Granular permissions for county staff, BOE members, BTA members, and public users — everyone sees only what they need, nothing more. Integration with county's network and implement Multi-Factor Authentication.
Built for Georgia counties
GovAppeal is designed around the Georgia property tax appeal process governed by O.C.G.A. § 48-5-311 — every workflow, deadline, and notice requirement is built in.
Georgia law gives property owners 45 days from the date of their assessment notice to file an appeal. GovAppeal enforces submission deadlines automatically and timestamps every filing for legal compliance.
Full BOE workflow support — from initial filing to hearing scheduling and written decision issuance. Supports BOE, Hearing Officer, and Arbitration tracks as required by Georgia statute.
When a value is established through appeal, Georgia law prevents increases for two successive years. GovAppeal tracks these freeze periods automatically so assessors are always aware of which parcels are protected.
BOE must set a hearing within 15 days of receiving an appeal and notify all parties. GovAppeal automates these notices — by email with date, time, location, and witness request rights as required by statute.
Georgia law allows the taxpayer and board of assessors to mutually agree to a value at any point and terminate the appeal. GovAppeal tracks settlement offers, records agreements, and closes the appeal cleanly.
When a taxpayer requests assessment methodology, comparable properties, or related records, the board must respond within 10 business days. GovAppeal tracks these requests and maintains complete document records.
From submission to decision
A clear, transparent lifecycle that keeps property owners informed and county staff in control.
Property owner searches by parcel, fills appeal details, uploads documents, and receives a confirmation number instantly — within the 45-day window.
County clerk verifies the submission, checks documents, and moves the appeal through the review workflow with full audit logging.
Hearing is scheduled — in-person or virtual — within the statutory timeframe. Property owner receives statutory notice automatically.
BOE records the written decision. The outcome is logged, archived, and communicated to the property owner the same day.
