Press release from the issuing company
Tuesday, July 27th, 2010
The Georgia Court of Appeals affirmed a lower court ruling that essentially dismissed an appeal by a local taxpayer group locked in litigation with the county board of assessors over a 2007 property revaluation.
Some members of the Dougherty County Taxpayer’s Association and its chairman Richard Thomas, have been suing Dougherty County Tax Director Denver Hooten and the county board of assessors trying to get the tax digest from 2007 thrown out over what they contend was a fatally flawed assessment process that prompted tax bills to jump on properties throughout the county.
