DeKalb County Property Tax Calculator
(Atlanta)

 
Property Tax Spreadsheet

This spreadsheet is interactive.  Just click "Click to Edit" button at the top of the sheet.  To get it back to the original numbers, just refresh the page.  This is set up for a standard homestead exemption.  If you qualify for additional exemptions, adjust accordingly.  Otherwise just put in a new "fair market value" and press enter on your keyboard to get a new tax amount.

At the bottom of the page is a sample of a tax bill so you can verify that the spreadsheet is accurate.

Be aware that some incorporated cities in DeKalb County collect their own city taxes separately.   If you live in the cities of Atlanta or Decatur,  you need to figure what the city taxes are in addition to the county tax.

The cities of Avondale, Chamblee, Clarkston, Doraville, Dunwoody, Lithonia, Pine Lake and Stone Mountain have their taxes billed along with the DeKalb County tax bills.

To compare taxes head to head in various localities, use the Atlanta Property Tax Calculator

 

 

 
Calculating property taxes for Dekalb County

Non-owner occupied homes:
The assessed value is 40% of the fair market value.  Multiply that by the millage rate and divide by 1000

Example:

Fair market value =$300,000
Assessed value = 40% X $300,000= $120,000
Millage rate = 29.235
Property tax = $120,000 X 29.235/1000 =  $3508

Owner Occupied homes qualifying for Homestead Exemption:
The homestead exemption is first subtracted from the assessed value before multiplying by the millage rate. But it's not that easy.  The homestead exemption is only subtracted from certain parts of the tax bill and there are different amounts for each. So one has to break down the millage rate for each portion of the tax bill and make sure that the correct homestead exemption amount is deducted from the correct portions of the tax bill.

HOST (Homestead Optional Sales Tax).  In 1997 DeKalb County started collecting a 1% sales tax that is used to reduce property taxes.  They have to use at least 85% of the money collected in this sales tax to put towards increasing the homestead exemption.  Only owner occupied homes get this credit so you'll see that there is a big difference in taxes in DeKalb County between owner occupied homes and rental homes.

DeKalb taxes also pay for trash pick up. 

There is also a Stormwater Fee and a Street Light fee.

Where We Do Business

Our market area is in the north metro Atlanta area.  We service Cobb County, north Fulton County, Dekalb County, Forsyth County and Gwinnett County.  We are very familiar with Sandy Springs, Dunwoody, Marietta, Roswell, Alpharetta, Buckhead, and Midtown. 

We have sold homes inside the perimeter and outside the perimeter.  We can't know everything so for clients who want to look for property in Peachtree City, Newnan, Stone Mountain, Douglasville, Macon and areas further out we will gladly recommend a good agent who specializes in those areas.

We help buyers negotiate with builders for residential new construction houses. New houses in Atlanta are hot right now. We can represent you in the purchase of your new house built by any of the following builders: Torrey Homes, MDC Homes, Centex Homes, Pulte Homes, Morrison Homes, Ryland Homes, John Wieland Homes, Winmark Homes, Meridian Homes, John Willis Homes, Benchmark Homes and many more home builders.

We can help clients find short term apartments for rent but normally we don't work with clients who are just looking for rentals.  We do help clients find Atlanta condos.  We can also help you purchase HUD homes in Atlanta.  We are an authorized agent with them and have the HUD key to get into HUD homes.  We have access to foreclosure homes that banks want to sell.

We love showing executive homes and luxury homes. We always like to know how people find our site.  Send us an email and tell us which search term you used. Some terms that we might be found by are realty Atlanta, Ga homes, Atlanta realty, condos Atlanta, Atlanta realestate, Atlanta property, houses Atlanta, Atlanta realtors, Ga houses, or realtors Atlanta.  Maybe you found us by typing in Atlanta MLS listings, or Atlanta MLS search, or MLS Atlanta GA. Hopefully we don't come up under nursing homes or funeral homes.

It is always amazing to me how the Internet can allow total strangers to find each other and build new business relationships.  It truly is becoming a small, interconnected world.
