From 2001 to 2002, almost 8 percent of homeowners in the City of Atlanta had increases in their reassessments of over 50 percent. An even larger number, 30 percent, had increases of more than 20 percent. Increases up to 20 percent were seen by 69 percent of Fulton County property owners. That means just about everyone in the County had their property assessments increase last year. Many of these increases have proven to be mistakes, errors and other faulty issues with the County Office of Appraiser A person selected or appointed by a competent authority or an interested party to evaluate the financial worth of property.

FCTA has helped thousands of individual property owners successfully appeal their reassessments and reduce their property taxes. To help raise awareness of the issues, FCTA will have a series of meetings with several important panelists and locations are conveniently located to serve three major areas of the County. Panelists will include Dr. Arthur Ferdinand, Tax Commissioner, Fulton County; Mr. Brady Barnett, chairman, Fulton County Board of Assessors; Mr. John Cunningham John Cunningham or Jack Cunningham may refer to:
