Britt & Burroughs

Britt & Burroughs has been helping Marietta property owners reduce their tax burden for over two decades. The firm specializes in property tax appeals and assessment challenges, working with both residential homeowners and commercial property investors throughout Cobb County and metro Atlanta. What sets this practice apart is their data-driven approach to property valuations. They maintain comprehensive databases of local property sales and use advanced analysis tools to identify overassessments. Their attorneys understand Georgia's complex property tax laws and have established relationships with local assessors' offices, making the appeals process more efficient for clients.

The firm offers complete property tax appeal services, starting with free assessment reviews to determine if your property is overvalued. They handle residential tax protests for single-family homes, condos, and investment properties. Commercial services include appeals for office buildings, retail spaces, industrial properties, and multi-family complexes. Their valuation analysis service compares your assessment to similar properties and recent sales data. They prepare detailed appeals packages with supporting documentation, property photos, and market analysis reports. The team represents clients at board of assessors hearings and handles all paperwork and deadlines. Additional services include homestead exemption applications, agricultural land use valuations, and historic property tax credits. They also provide ongoing monitoring services to catch future overassessments early and maintain records for consecutive year appeals when necessary.

The process begins with a complimentary property assessment review where they analyze your current valuation against comparable properties and market data. If they identify potential savings, they'll explain the appeal timeline and your chances of success. Once you decide to proceed, they gather property details, research comparable sales, and prepare your appeal documentation. They file all necessary paperwork with the county assessor's office and track important deadlines. Throughout the process, they keep you informed of progress and next steps. If your case proceeds to a hearing, they'll represent you before the board of assessors. Most cases are resolved at this level, though they can pursue superior court appeals if needed. Payment is typically due only if they successfully reduce your assessment.

Britt & Burroughs primarily serves Cobb County, including Marietta, Kennesaw, Smyrna, and Powder Springs. They also handle cases throughout the metro Atlanta area, including Fulton, DeKalb, and Gwinnett counties. Their deep knowledge of local assessment practices and market conditions in these areas gives them a significant advantage in appeal cases.
