Congratulations if you purchased a home in 2010. You may have gotten a decrease in your Georgia property taxes. The Georgia legislature in 2010 passed a tax reform bill requiring every Georgia county to review 2010 property sales. If you purchased a home for less money 
than the stated assessed value, your tax bill will based on the 2010 sale price. If you purchased a home for more money than the stated assessed value, your tax bill will be based on the assessed value.
