Chattooga County To Host Free Tax Appeal Class August 31st

Chattooga County will host a free Tax Appeal Class on Monday, August 31st at 6 PM to help property owners better understand the process of appealing their 2026 property assessments.

The location for the class is still being finalized.

Chattooga County Sole Commissioner Andy Allen said he is working to secure a location and will release a flyer once the site is confirmed. Allen is also finalizing who will teach the class.

The class is being organized in response to a high volume of property owners filing appeals on their tax assessments this year.

This is not the first time Chattooga County has seen a large number of appeals. In 2023, more than 3,000 property owners filed appeals after receiving their assessment notices.

At that time, Allen was a private citizen and held a community-wide meeting to help residents better understand how the appeals process works. Now, as sole commissioner, Allen is again working to provide residents with information about how to file and handle an appeal.

The August 31st class is expected to cover the basics of the appeal process, including how property owners can review their assessment, file an appeal and understand the steps that follow after an appeal is submitted.

County officials are expected to release additional details once the location and instructor are confirmed.

The free Tax Appeal Class will be held Monday, August 31st at 6 PM. WZQZ News will provide the location and additional information as soon as it
