Estimated Taxes

Use the tool above to estimate property taxes for a one-year period in the City of Decatur. Do not include commas. DeKalb County determines the appraised value of property. The City of Decatur assessment is 50 percent of the appraised value. The calculation is only an estimate of City taxes for the year. City taxes are billed in two unequal installments. You must 1) be eligible and 2) apply for homestead exemption in order to receive it. Your taxes will be lower if you qualify for exemptions based on age and income. Sanitation and stormwater fees will increase your bill on average by $378. The millage rate is subject to change. We do not accept pre-payments before bills have been issued, and if you pre-pay and overpay, we cannot guarantee a turnaround time for your refund. The estimate you calculate is a good faith effort to assist you in projecting your tax liability for planning purposes only.
