Questions about the Fulton assessments answered

The weather is not the only thing warming up these these days. Many Fulton County property owners are hot and bothered after receiving property assessment notices that show dramatic increases to their property values.

Elected officials are scrambling to respond to angry taxpayers after residents started seeing new assessments.

The increases led some governments to ask the county Board of Assessors to consider rescinding the assessments, though others — most notably, Atlanta Public Schools — requested that the assessments go forward as planned. Thursday, members of the board are slated to make a decision.

They will meet at 12:30 p.m. at the Fulton County Government Center.
