Board of Equalization

 The Chattahoochee  County Board of Equalization (BOE) is a panel of property owners appointed by the Chattahoochee County Grand Jury to serve the citizens of Chattahoochee County. These appointees are required to have at least a high school diploma, own real property in Chattahoochee County, and must complete at least 40 hours of certified training before they can serve on the Board of Equalization. Once a year, these board members must complete 8 hours of continuous education training. The Board is charged by the O.C.G.A. 48-5-311 to hear appeals of property tax matters. 

  As of January 1, 2011 the Clerk of Superior Court was vested with administrative authority in matters governing the conduct and business of the board of equalization as to provide oversight and supervision of the Board. This was done to place a neutral third party over the operation of this department in an effort to avoid all appearances of bias or impropriety. Any Citizen desiring to submit a name for consideration should contact the Superior Court Clerk’s Office.
