Are Spalding Countys values not uniform?
Every three years, the State Department of Revenue reviews the tax digest to see if property values are still fair and uniform. 2005 was the last time this was done for Spalding County. When the State Revenue Commissioner’s staff reviewed the digest for that year, they found that our values fell within the Department’s requirements for uniformity and the digest was approved. Several areas of Spalding County are changing much faster than others and the slowdown in the national economy has impacted Spalding County. Although the 2005 digest was approved as submitted, it became increasingly apparent that the values would not stay uniform for long. The Department will soon publish its findings for the 2008 digest review and it is expected to have deficiencies which the Revenue Commissioner will order Spalding to correct before the 2011 digest is submitted. Under the circumstances, the board determined it should undertake a total revaluation of all properties in the county to restore uniform
