Useful Resources for Appealing Your Property Tax Assessment
By Prof. Burton Fletcher (Ret.), JD, MBA, Attorney
When I commenced my research for my own property tax appeal, I will admit that the process
was daunting. I found different levels of support and obstruction in the process. One shining
star was Mr. Kenny Colson, kenny.colson@dor.ga.gov, with the Georgia Department of
Revenue.
Mr. Colson was courteous and professional throughout and he emailed the following to me.
“Mr. Fletcher,
Below you will find several links with useful information and my comments as to what is
pertinent about them. I hope this information is pertinent for you and your situation.

I appreciate the assistance that Mr. Colson provided. The State of Georgia benefits from those
who serve with the public interest in mind.
