Atlanta Home Appraisal Map & Comparisons
Decatur Metro | January 28, 2010 | 1:57 pmHave you seen this great, new home appraisals map/search feature on the AJC?
You type in your home address and it compares your 2009 home appraisal AND a previous appraisal with other residences in your immediate neighborhood. (Note: you have to have an AJC sign-in to see appraisals for other properties.) Also, it will provide a “return value” of the property if a homeowner appealed the 2009 appraisal.
A quick look shows me that we were one of just a few homes that received a lower appraisal in 2009 than 2008 (though that may be due to the County lowering our heated square footage space in 2009). Five of 21homes in my area appealed their appraisals.

Hmm…try as I might, I can’t get it to realize that my house is in Dekalb and not Clayton County.
Yea- mine is up!
speaking of, did anyone seek an appeal on their property taxes? we did & have still not heard any result…just not sure if we’re the only ones who are in this situation. Not sure what that means for our taxes if they decide it’s more since we’re paying a reduced amount right now pending appeal results. Anyone have any words of wisdom?
also, we filed an appeal…but, it’s not showing up that way on this map. not sure if the “return value” and “property tax return” is something different that needs to be done. but, when you look us up in the real estate tax assessors website it indicates that the appeal is pending.
Hi Scoobydoo,
we filed an appeal and I was told that we wouldn’t hear anything back until March and then we could appeal the decision if we wanted to.
Thanks for the info QueenB!
