Assessors staff to conduct field inspections

BLUE RIDGE, Ga. – Throughout the year you may notice the Fannin County Board of Assessors appraisal staff in your neighborhood or area conducting onsite field inspections. Fannin County vehicles will be clearly marked with emblems, and staff will have picture ID’s and business cards. Feel free to question staff for the reason of their visit and ask for identification. We appreciate your cooperation with our onsite visits. As always we want to respect your privacy.

As a part of conducting field inspections due to Building Permits, Appeals, or general appraisal review, the staff will be reviewing land characteristics, improvements and taking exterior measurements. Normally, there is not a need to come inside your home or place of business, but at some time, it may be necessary in order to complete the inspection or appeal review. Should an interior inspection be needed, it will be noted on the informational door hanger by the appraiser. The tax payer can set up an appointment with the appraiser to complete the interior inspection. Should you not be at home and no interior inspection is needed, the review will still be conducted and an informational door hanger will be left along with the appraiser’s business card. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact the number on the card to speak with the assigned appraiser.
