In Georgia, property taxes are based upon 40 percent of the property's value, minus all applicable homestead exemptions. Each of the taxing authorities--the 10 municipalities, the Atlanta and Fulton County School Boards, and Fulton County--annually determine property taxes for homeowners and businesses. The authorities establish millage rates which, multiplied by the property's assessed value, determines property taxes.
