METRO ATLANTA REAL ESTATE TAXES Real Estate Taxes • A monthly house payment is made up of several items, but most of it is principal and interest (see “Mortgage P&I” in this issue). The other major part of the payment is property tax. To estimate your monthly real estate tax payment, multiply the total appraised value of your home by 40 percent. Deduct from this amount your homestead exemption using the following figures: $2,000 for Jackson, Paulding and Spalding; $4,000 for Carroll and Newton; $5,000 for Bartow and Cherokee; $6,000 for Douglas; $7,000 for Coweta and Dawson; $8,000 for Forsyth; $9,000 for Fayette; $10,000 for Barrow, Clarke, Clayton, Cobb, DeKalb and Hall; $12,000 for Henry; $15,000 for Fulton and Rockdale. For Fayette, Gwinnett, Henry and Walton, call the tax commissioner for exemption information. Divide the balance by 1,000. Multiply this amount by the millage rate listed below. This final figure is your estimated annual tax; divide by 12 to calculate your estimated monthly property tax.
