Why Gwinnett appeals are time sensitive: Gwinnett County
mailed its 2026 annual Notices of Assessment on May 15, 2026, which sets a
filing deadline of June 29, 2026. You have 45 days from the date
printed on your notice to file an appeal with the Gwinnett County
Board of Tax Assessors. The clock starts the day the notice was mailed, not
the day you received it. Miss it and your assessment stands for the year.
AppealAlly tracks Gwinnett deadlines automatically and pre-fills the
PT-311A so you can file before the 45-day window closes.

Results may vary. The $492/year figure reflects average first-year
savings reported by AppealAlly customers with successful appeals.
Why Appeal in Gwinnett County
- High reduction rate. Based on 20,229 Gwinnett County appeals from the 2025 tax year, 82.2% of appeals that reached a decision reduced the homeowner’s assessed value (source: Gwinnett County Board of Assessors FOIA release).
- Three-year freeze. Under O.C.G.A. section 48-5-299(c), when a Board of Equalization, hearing officer, arbitrator, or Superior Court reduces your value through a formal appeal, Gwinnett cannot raise that value for the appeal year plus the next two successive years.
- No risk if you lose. Filing an appeal cannot raise your assessment. If you don’t win a reduction, your existing value stands. HB 581 (effective January 1, 2025) only attaches the 3-year freeze when an appeal produces an actual reduction, so there’s no penalty for trying.
- No filing fee. Filing the PT-311A with the Gwinnett County Board of Tax Assessors is free at every stage of the appeal, including the Board of Equalization hearing.

Frequently Asked Questions
- When are 2026 Gwinnett County assessment notices mailed?
- Gwinnett County mailed its 2026 annual Notices of Assessment on May 15, 2026, which sets a filing deadline of June 29, 2026. Your 45-day appeal window runs from the notice date printed in the upper right corner, so confirm that date before you file.
- When is the deadline to appeal my Gwinnett property taxes?
- You have 45 days from the date Gwinnett County mailed your annual Notice of Assessment to file an appeal. For 2026, the county mailed notices on May 15, which sets a filing deadline of June 29, 2026. The clock starts the day the notice was mailed (printed in the upper right corner), not the day you opened the envelope. Miss it and you wait until next year's notice. The deadline cannot be extended for any reason.
- Will my property taxes go up if I lose the appeal?
- No. Under Georgia's "299(c) freeze" (O.C.G.A. § 48-5-299(c)), once a Board of Equalization, hearing officer, arbitrator, or Superior Court reduces your value through a formal appeal, the new value is locked for the appeal year and the next two successive years. If you do not win a reduction, your existing value stands. Gwinnett County cannot use an appeal as an excuse to raise your assessment.
- How much does it cost to appeal property taxes in Gwinnett?
- Filing the PT-311A with the Gwinnett County Board of Tax Assessors is free. There is no filing fee at the Board of Equalization stage. AppealAlly offers two pricing tiers: DIY Essentials at $79 flat (you get the comparable-sales packet and file yourself) or Full-Service Appeal at 30% of first-year savings only if we win.
- What is the 3-year property tax freeze in Georgia?
- When a Board of Equalization, hearing officer, arbitrator, or Superior Court reduces your home's value through a formal appeal, Gwinnett County cannot raise that value for three tax years (the year you appealed plus the next two successive years). House Bill 581, effective January 1, 2025, narrowed eligibility so the freeze only attaches when the appeal produces an actual reduction.
- What evidence do I need to win a Gwinnett property tax appeal?
- Three to five comparable sales of similar homes in your Gwinnett neighborhood (same area, similar size, age, condition) that closed in the 12 months before January 1 of the assessment year. The Gwinnett Board of Equalization weights closed sales heaviest. AppealAlly's evidence packets are built from county sale records and assessor data.
