Many buyers ask me about how properties taxesdiffer in various counties and cities around the metro Atlanta area. There is a big difference between some counties. The difference between taxes in Fulton county vs. neighboring Forsyth county is very significant. Sometimes there's a big difference depending on whether or not you reside within city limits. City taxes for the city of Atlanta and Decatur are quite high.
A few counties give big exemptions to senior citizens. A person in Cobb county living in a $500,000 home will probably will pay less than $1000 in property taxes if they are 65 or older. Forsyth county also has a great deal for senior citizens.
I found a great chart that helps you calculate and compare property taxes for the various localities around Atlanta. Go to AtlantaCommunities.com and you find the chart that I put part of below. At the top is an explanation on how to calculate taxes. It also has the homestead exemption amounts. For more information about specifics, go to each county's tax assessor website.
