District 1 Virtual Property Assessment Town Hall

The District 1 Virtual Property Assessment Town Hall, hosted by Fulton County Commissioner Bridget Thorne on July 29, 2026, focused on property tax assessments, homestead exemptions, and the appraisal process in Fulton County. Key procurement-related discussions included explanations of the homestead exemption application process, legislative changes affecting tax assessment notices, and the appeal process for property assessments. The meeting detailed how exemptions are applied automatically when eligible, the timeline for assessment notices and appeals, and recent legislative updates impacting exemptions and assessments. While no direct contract awards or vendor selections were discussed, the meeting emphasized transparency in tax assessment operations and the importance of public input on millage rates, which indirectly affects county budgeting and procurement priorities.
