The median Mountain Park homeowner pays $3,029/year in property taxes. That is 2.34% of median household income. See how Mountain Park compares and check your savings potential.
With about 700 residents, Mountain Park is one of the smallest cities in Fulton County, a wooded lake community on the county's northwestern edge next door to Roswell that kept its rustic character while the rest of north Fulton built out around it. Housing here is modest by north Fulton standards: the median home is worth about $371,600, around 19% below the Fulton County median of $458,800. That gap matters more than it looks, because Fulton is an enormous and uneven appraisal jurisdiction, with county-wide home values ranging from roughly $286,572 at the 25th percentile to $735,809 at the 75th. A mass appraisal system calibrated on everything from south Fulton to Buckhead to Alpharetta has very little data on a 700-person lake town, and thin data is where valuations drift. Median household income in Mountain Park is about $129,583, and property taxes take roughly 2.3% of household income for the typical owner, with Fulton County's effective rate at about 1.42% of home value. Lakefront lots, older cottages, and heavily wooded parcels are exactly the properties automated comparisons misprice, because there are few true comparables inside the city limits and the nearest sales often come from Roswell subdivisions that have nothing in common with a cabin above a lake. That makes the annual notice worth reading closely rather than filing away. Georgia's rules give homeowners 45 days from the date printed on that notice to appeal, and after that the assessment locks in for the year.
Mountain Park Appeal Quick Facts
The median home in Mountain Park is valued at $371,600, and the typical homeowner pays about $3,029 per year in property tax (Census ACS 2024), based on Fulton County's 3.553% combined millage applied to 40% of fair market value after exemptions. That means the typical Mountain Park homeowner spends 2.34% of household income on property taxes alone. If Fulton County has overestimated your home's fair market value, you are paying more than you should. Georgia law guarantees that filing an appeal cannot increase your assessment, so there is no risk in checking. At $371,600, Mountain Park home values are 19% below the Fulton County median, 118% above Georgia's statewide median of $170,200, 16% above the national median of $318,000.
