Dougherty County’s 2026 Property Revaluation: What Happened, Why Values Changed, and What Happens Next?

This investigation documents Dougherty County’s 2026 countywide property revaluation, including how properties were valued, why some assessments changed substantially, the appeals process, the relationship between assessments and millage rates, and the decisions made by the agencies and officials involved. The goal is to build a public, source-backed record using assessment notices, county records, meeting statements, state requirements, appeals data, contracts, public records and contributions from property owners. Questions include: How was the revaluation conducted? How consistent were valuation changes across neighborhoods and property types? How many appeals are being filed, and what happens to those appeals? When will the tax digest and millage rates be finalized? And what effect will the process ultimately have on property owners?

I want to start this investigation with a simple question: What actually happened with Dougherty County’s 2026 property assessments? A lot of people have talked about how much their values increased, but I want to get beyond individual stories and start building the bigger picture. If you received a new assessment, how much did your property value change from 2025 to 2026? Did you appeal it? If so, what happened? If you have an assessment notice, appeal documentation, public record, meeting information, or anything else that could help document what happened, add it to the investigation. Let’s build the record from the evidence up.
