Grand Jury Seeks Citizens for Board of Tax Equalization


The October 2007 Term of the Grand Jury of Athens-Clarke County has been charged with the responsibility of appointing one (1) regular member, one (1) alternate member, and two (2) additional alternate members to the Board of Tax Equalization for Athens-Clarke County. The term of such members would be for three (3) years beginning January 1, 2008.

The Board of Tax Equalization is responsible for hearing appeals on property values and exemptions. This independent board sets the date and time for hearings, hears evidence from both the taxpayer and the Tax Assessors Office, and makes their independent decision based on the facts presented in much the same manner as a court room jury. After hearing evidence from both the taxpayer and the appraisal staff, the Board of Equalization renders a decision on the value of the property/exemption.

Any citizen of Athens-Clarke County who owns real property and is a high school graduate is eligible for appointment to the Board. Interested citizens should contact the office of Ken Mauldin, District Attorney, at 706-613-3240 or kenmauldin@co.clarke.ga.us no later than noon on November 2 and provide their name and telephone number to be forwarded to the Grand Jury.
