OUR MISSION:
To produce an annual tax digest that conforms to the requirements of Georgia Law and Rules and Regulations of the Georgia Department of Revenue. The Board of Assessors are responsible for determining what real and personal property is subject to taxation in Madison County, estimating the market value and administration of the various types of homestead and property tax exemptions.

The three member board meets the second Thursday of each month at 5:30 p.m. to consider requests involving conservation status applications, homestead exemptions, preferential treatment status and any changes in property taxation status. For more information call (706)795-6355   

* It shall be the policy of the Madison County Board of Assessors to accept only U.S. Postal Service postmark for all deadlines, including but not limited to Tax Returns (Real and Personal), Exempt Status Requests, Homestead Applications, Preferential Assessment Applications, and Appeals. In addition, the Madison County Board of Assessors will NOT accept appeals via electronic transmission. We are unable to maintain and verify receipt of the current assessment under appeal. In addition, we are unable to verify the authenticity of the registered agent, attorney, or taxpayer by written admission or by affidavit of person or persons filing the appeal electronically.
