Fayette County, located south of Atlanta, is known for its higher-value residential properties and lower density development. The county conducts annual reassessments, and while assessments tend to be more moderate than DeKalb or Fulton, over-assessments still occur — particularly for properties in established neighborhoods where the county applies broad-brush valuation increases.
Fayette's Board of Equalization process is generally straightforward, but well-prepared evidence is essential. The county's smaller size means assessors often have better knowledge of individual properties, making it important to bring detailed, data-driven arguments.
PRE has achieved an 85% success rate in Fayette County — our highest among core counties. Our average annual savings of $1,372 per property reflects the county's responsiveness to well-documented appeal evidence.
