Board of Assessors
The Rockdale County Board of Assessors has the answers to questions about property appraisal and assessment in Rockdale County. A large portion of the operating revenues needed for Rockdale County comes from the taxation of privately held property. The Rockdale County Commissioners, the Rockdale County School System, and the city of Conyers City Council set millage rates against the assessed value of property to determine the amount of taxes owed.
Mission
The Board of Assessors mission is to assure that all properties in Rockdale County are valued equitable and uniform while serving our customers with excellence.

Latest Updates
2026 Notice of Assessment – Frequently Asked Questions
Why haven’t the 2026 Notices of Assessment been mailed yet?
The notices have been delayed due to pending implementation of Senate Bill 566. The Rockdale County Board of Assessors is awaiting final approval and guidance to ensure all notices fully comply with the new law before mailing.
What is Senate Bill 566?
This legislation updates the format of the Notice of Assessment and property tax bill to make them clearer and more informative for taxpayers.
How will the new Notice of Assessment be different?
The revised notice will:
- Show both prior year and current year property values
- Clearly identify any changes in value
- List exemptions applied to the property
- Highlight potential additional exemptions
- Provide estimated tax savings from exemptions and credits
- Clearly explain appeal rights, including what can be appealed and how
What changes are being made to the tax bill?
The updated tax bill will:
- Break down taxes by each taxing authority (county, school, city)
- Show how exemptions and credits reduce the tax amount
- Remove the estimated rollback rate, which has often caused confusion
Does this legislation benefit property owners?
Yes. Senate Bill 566 is designed to improve transparency, simplify information, and give property owners a better understanding of their assessments and tax bills.
Are there any changes to homestead exemptions?
Yes. Property owners will have more time and flexibility to apply for a homestead exemption—up until the close of the appeal period (45 days after receiving the notice).
When will the Notices of Assessment be mailed?
Notices will be mailed as soon as the legislation is finalized, and all required updates are implemented. Our office is working to ensure the information provided is accurate, complete, and easy to understand.
Who can I contact for more information?
Please contact the Rockdale County Board of Assessors office with any questions. Staff are available to assist you and provide updates as they become available.
