The covered bridge over Euharlee Creek, built in 1886, is the landmark most people associate with this small Bartow County city west of Cartersville, and it says something true about the place: Euharlee has kept its historic, rural character even as northwest Georgia has grown up around it. Roughly 4,230 people live here, many in newer subdivisions folded between pastures and creek bottoms. The median home is worth about $247,400, around 14.4% below the Bartow County median of $289,000. Across Bartow County, home values fall between roughly $202,883 at the 25th percentile and $393,257 at the 75th, and Euharlee's below-median position matters for accuracy: models built on county-wide sales, weighted toward Cartersville and the fast-growing corridors near I-75, can misprice homes in a quieter market like this one. Bartow's effective property tax rate is modest at about 0.98%, and with a median household income of $99,597 the typical Euharlee household spends about 2.2% of its income on property taxes. That is manageable, which is precisely why inflated assessments here often go unchallenged; the number never shocks anyone into checking the math. But the value on your notice is a claim about what your specific house would sell for, and claims can be wrong. Compare it with recent sales in Euharlee itself, not county-wide averages. If it fails that test, you can appeal. Georgia law sets the appeal deadline at 45 days from the date of your assessment notice. The date printed on your notice controls. Confirm with your county before you file.
Euharlee Appeal Quick Facts
The median home in Euharlee is valued at $247,400, and the typical homeowner pays about $2,206 per year in property tax (Census ACS 2024), based on Bartow County's 2.440% combined millage applied to 40% of fair market value after exemptions. That means the typical Euharlee homeowner spends 2.21% of household income on property taxes alone. If Bartow County has overestimated your home's fair market value, you are paying more than you should. Filing is free, and the Board of Equalization can lower your value but cannot raise it above the county assessors' figure, except on a value already frozen by an earlier appeal. At $247,400, Euharlee home values are 14% below the Bartow County median, 45% above Georgia's statewide median of $170,200, 22% below the national median of $318,000.
Check If Your Euharlee Home Is Overassessed
Cartersville leads Bartow County in home values, but your individual assessment could still be too high regardless of where Euharlee falls in the county ranking.
In a mid-size city like Euharlee, you should be able to find 3-5 comparable sales within Bartow County. Look for homes that sold in the last 12 months with similar square footage, age, and condition. If local sales are limited, expand your search to neighboring areas within the county.

Based on a combined tax rate of 2.440%. Your actual rate may vary by tax district. Three-year figures are estimates and apply only if your value is reduced; you can then keep saving for up to three years, subject to the statutory exceptions.
A 10% reduction on the median Euharlee home ($247,400 down by $24,740) would save approximately $241 per year, or $723 over three years (estimated, subject to the statutory exceptions) with the 299c value freeze.
At 2.21% of household income, even a modest reduction in your assessed value makes a real difference in your annual budget.
