Property Tax Appeal
Coweta County Property Tax Appeal Appraisal
Independent market evidence for Coweta County homeowners appealing their Annual Notice of Assessment — from historic Newnan to Senoia and Sharpsburg.
Appeal Window: Coweta County property owners generally have 45 days from the date on their Annual Notice of Assessment to file an appeal. This is based on standard Georgia procedure — always verify the exact deadline printed on your own notice and file with Coweta County Assessors Office — coweta.ga.us/276/Assessors-Office before ordering an appraisal.
Coweta County's Board of Tax Assessors values property across Newnan's historic districts and the county's fast-growing communities near Senoia and Sharpsburg. When your Annual Notice of Assessment doesn't reflect your property's actual condition or genuinely comparable sales, an independent appraisal provides organized, defensible market evidence.
Understanding Your Notice
Understanding Your Coweta County Assessment
Who Sets Your Value
The Coweta County Board of Tax Assessors values property and mails Annual Notices of Assessment each year. The Coweta County Tax Commissioner's Office is a separate office that bills and collects taxes once values are finalized.
Like every Georgia county, Coweta County assesses residential property at 40% of fair market value for tax purposes. An appeal challenges the county's opinion of fair market value — exactly what an independent appraisal is built to evaluate.
Your Tax Bill vs. Your Assessment
Your tax bill combines county, school, and — for properties inside a city — municipal millage, plus any homestead exemptions filed. Newnan, Senoia, Sharpsburg, and Moreland each set their own municipal millage separate from the county and school levies. An appraisal addresses fair market value, not the tax calculation itself.
When It May Help
Common Reasons Coweta County Assessments Get Questioned
Comparable sales used to justify your assessment may not be truly comparable to your Coweta County property.
An outdated inspection on file doesn't reflect the property's current, real condition.
The county's records may overstate a renovation, addition, or feature that isn't accurate.
The percentage increase on your notice outpaces what similar Coweta County properties have actually sold for.
Local Appeal Process
How to Appeal in Coweta County
Coweta County property owners must file a written appeal within 45 days of the Notice of Assessment date — a deadline that cannot be extended. The state's PT-311A form is preferred but not required; if you don't use it, your letter must include the same information, including your chosen course of appeal, and must be signed. Send your appeal to the Coweta County Assessors Office, 37 Perry Street, Newnan (phone 770-254-2601, email tassessors@coweta.ga.us).
You can typically file through the Coweta County Assessors Office (coweta.ga.us/461/Appeals). Georgia Valuation Source provides independent appraisal evidence for your case — we do not file appeals or provide legal representation.
Board of Equalization
A citizen panel appointed by the Grand Jury that hears and adjudicates administrative appeals to assessed values.
Hearing Officer
Available for qualifying non-homestead property, conducted by a state-certified appraiser.
Arbitration

After You File
If the Board of Tax Assessors issues an amended notice you still disagree with, you have a further 30-day window to appeal that amended notice. Appeals that proceed to a hearing are decided by the County Board of Equalization. Decisions can be further appealed to Coweta County Superior Court.

Building Your Case
What Evidence Matters
Recent closed sales of genuinely comparable homes — similar size, age, condition, and location — with the differences between those homes and yours accounted for individually.
Photographs and a description of any condition issues, deferred maintenance, or functional problems the county's mass-appraisal model would not have observed.
Documentation of the property's physical characteristics (square footage, lot size, room count, systems age) if it differs from county records.
A clear, professionally organized opinion of value — not just a lower number, but the market evidence and reasoning behind it.

Residential Appraisal Considerations in Coweta County
I-85 growth corridor: New-subdivision activity is concentrated along the I-85 corridor near Newnan, distinct from the smaller, more historic housing stock in outlying communities like Senoia and Grantville.
Sole-hospital market with recent capacity growth: Piedmont Newnan Hospital, Coweta's only general hospital, recently expanded to 217 beds, consistent with the county's population growth.
Historic Newnan core vs. newer subdivisions: Newnan's antebellum-era historic district carries a different condition/renovation profile than the county's newer exurban subdivisions, generally requiring separate comparable pools.
