They also include an initial estimate of 2018 property taxes using this year’s assessed value and last year’s millage rates. The current year’s millage rates will not be set until later in the year, and tax bills will not be sent until after that.
County officials said about 59 percent of properties in Gwinnett will see a change in value this year.
“Overall, property sales reflect a real estate market that remains positive with high demand,” officials said in a news release.
