The Boards of Equalization (BOEs) are independent boards of your fellow citizens appointed by the Grand Jury of Muscogee County. What that means is that oversight, supervision and decision-making authority for property tax appeals is independent of the local government and the Board of Tax Assessors. My mission, and that of my staff, is to make sure that the appeal process of our county is carried out in a neutral, impartial and fair manner. I take this goal very seriously, as does my staff. We are dedicated to maintaining the integrity of an appeal process that exists to allow citizens an opportunity to appeal their tax assessments. However, it is important that you realize my office is responsible for making sure the process itself works fairly and efficiently. I have no input or authority in decisions made by the BOEs in your appeals. The authority to decide your case rests only with the BOE members themselves. The BOEs make decisions about whether your property value should be raised or lowered. The issue of whether your tax bill will also be adjusted is a separate issue involving the Muscogee County property tax freeze. For further information about the impact of the freeze on your tax bill, you can contact the Tax Assessor’s Office. This website is a work in progress and we hope, with your input and involvement, to improve the services and information provided in ways to make this process work even better for all parties. I would like to extend a special thanks to staff members Sheena Parks, webmaster for the Clerk of Superior Court, and Chelsey Moon, the BOE Director. They worked very hard to create, design and program this website as quickly as possible so that we could provide information to taxpayers anticipating appealing their tax assessments after this year’s notices went out from the Tax Assessor’s Office.

Dear Fellow Citizen,
Effective January 1, 2011, the Georgia Legislature placed oversight and supervision of all county property
tax appeal boards (called Board of Equalization) under the direction and authority of the Clerks of
Superior Court. The Boards of Equalization (BOEs) are independent boards of your fellow citizens
appointed by the Grand Jury of Muscogee County. What that means is that oversight, supervision and
decision-making authority for property tax appeals is independent of the local government and the Board
of Tax Assessors.
My mission, and that of my staff, is to make sure that the appeal process of our county is carried out in a
neutral, impartial and fair manner. I take this goal very seriously, as does my staff. We are dedicated to
maintaining the integrity of an appeal process that exists to allow citizens an opportunity to appeal their
tax assessments.
However, it is important that you realize my office is responsible for making sure the process itself works
fairly and efficiently. I have no input or authority in decisions made by the BOEs in your appeals. The
authority to decide your case rests only with the BOE members themselves.
The BOEs make decisions about whether your property value should be raised or lowered. The issue of
whether your tax bill will also be adjusted is a separate issue involving the Muscogee County property tax
freeze. For further information about the impact of the freeze on your tax bill, you can contact the Tax
Assessor’s Office.
This website is a work in progress and we hope, with your input and involvement, to improve the services
and information provided in ways to make this process work even better for all parties.
I would like to extend a special thanks to staff members Sheena Parks, webmaster for the Clerk of
Superior Court, and Chelsey Moon, the BOE Director. They worked very hard to create, design and
program this website as quickly as possible so that we could provide information to taxpayers anticipating
appealing their tax assessments after this year’s notices went out from the Tax Assessor’s Office.
