The Fulton County Assessors Office — Attraction in Atlanta

Moved this year. Called to get my tax amount to pay. Rep did not help me at all. Got a huge attitude when I questioned her. Told me I had to call some other number to change "my address" which she gave me that was never MY address but the seller's. Did not listen. Got VERY HOSTILE. Soooo typical, Atlanta: rude, limited, angry civil servant. Why does Atlanta make everything so difficult and user unfriendly? It's ALWAYS a problem, am I right? Website search boxes don't work. Ill informed employees, no answer to the phone call, they closed early... Never easy. I am just trying to pay you! So frustrating.

UPDATE! Closing attorney was able to send me right away, a link to see my bill and pay. Would that have been so hard Tax Office? Don't bother with "Full of Themselves County"....

I appealed to check my home value. First of all their staff was very unfriendly and not willing to listen to my genuine concerns when all my neighbors with bigger houses were paying less tax. Then they somehow found the SQ FT on their system was incorrect. They told me someone would visit my home to check. Nothing happened and they sent me another request to visit their office. The same thing repeated. Finally another person comes and checks and corrects the SQ FT. But when I get a letter the amount is still not correct. This is still not resolve almost after a year. I just feel they are unwilling to accept any lower taxes in their pockets and want to drag the issue as much...

I have been trying to find out for more than five (5) years how the Assessor's Office establishes property valuation determination. I have been told that we use a computer program, but then no we don't, we use linear regression, but then no we don't, it is more of an art then a science, but that would violate OCGA and DOR requirements, etc - basically after more than 100 Open Records Requests, the Assessor's Office still cannot tell me or explain how they establish property valuations. Accordingly they get ZERO stars for service and NOT the one star that I HAD to add to...
