County-administered: assessed value is 40% of fair market value, minus homestead exemptions (state standard $2,000; many counties offer more), times the local millage rate. DOR worked example: a $100,000 home at 25 mills owes about $950/yr. Bills are typically due Dec 20; assessments are set each Jan 1 at fair market value (OCGA 48-5-6).
