Some residents voiced concerns about rising home values and unclear appraisal methods while Thorne, who opposes a property tax rate increase, planned another meeting on July 29—offering further guidance on the appeal process.  Appen Media
  • Fulton County residents told officials at a July 9 hearing to keep the property tax rate flat as they opposed a 1-mill increase that could raise taxes by over 12 percent.
