How to Find Your Georgia Property Taxes — And Why It Matters for Buyers
Searching for a home in Georgia? Understanding property taxes is crucial before you make an offer. Taxes vary by county and neighborhood, directly affecting your monthly payment — and your purchasing power.
In 2026, Georgia's median county tax rate is 0.949%. For a $500,000 home, that's a typical annual bill of $4,745 (source). But exemptions and recent reforms can lower your bill. As your Keller Williams experts, we help you assess the true cost of any property in Peachtree City, Senoia, Brooks, Sharpsburg, Newnan, Fayetteville, or Tyrone.
- Property taxes fund local schools, police, and infrastructure
- Rates and exemptions differ by county
- New 2026 reforms cap annual tax increases to inflation (some school districts excluded)

Step-By-Step: How to Look Up Your Georgia Property Taxes
Property taxes in Georgia are managed at the county level, so the process starts by knowing your county — Peachtree City, for example, is in Fayette County, while Senoia is in Coweta County. Each county has an online portal or tax commissioner's office to help you access your tax info quickly.
- Identify the County: Find which Georgia county your property is in.
- Visit the County Website: Most counties offer online tax lookup by address, owner name, or parcel ID. For example, Fayette County provides a detailed portal.
- Review Your Assessment: Each year, the assessor mails a notice showing your property’s assessed value (typically 40% of fair market value).
- Calculate Taxes: Multiply the assessed value by the county’s millage rate. Example: $100,000 assessed value x 0.01 (10 mills) = $1,000 tax/year.
- Check for Exemptions: Homestead, senior, and floating exemptions can save you thousands annually.

Key Exemptions and 2026 Tax Law Changes: How to Lower Your Bill
Georgia is known for generous homestead exemptions, and new rules in 2026 give buyers more predictability. Here’s what you need to know to maximize savings:
- Standard Homestead Exemption: Reduces taxable value for primary residences — apply as soon as you close.
- Floating Homestead Exemption: Caps assessed value increases to the rate of inflation (with some school district exceptions after 2025 ballot measures).
- Senior Exemptions: Additional relief for homeowners 62+/65+ — varies by county.
If you’re buying from out of state or upgrading locally, these exemptions can shift your budget by hundreds a month. We automatically flag all eligible properties in our MLS feed and can calculate your likely savings case-by-case.
For example, the Fayetteville area has several listings eligible for new homeowner exemptions. If you need help filing after closing, our team walks you through it — one less thing to worry about.
