Gwinnett County property information search
Gwinnett provides online self-service access to property research, annual assessment notices and appeal status. The Assessor also publishes authoritative data, maps and open-record request options.
- Search the official property-information system by parcel, owner or address.
- Confirm the parcel number, situs address, ownership and property characteristics.
- Review assessed value and the annual notice date.
- Use the Tax Commissioner portal for tax statements and payment.
- Use Clerk of Court deed and land-record services for recorded documents.
What the public record can and cannot establish
Gwinnett assessment data can show property attributes, ownership, value and map information. Annual notices and pending appeal status are available through self-service tools.
The Assessor record is not a deed and the map is not a survey. Open data can be authoritative for county operations without being legal title evidence.

| Property value, attributes, exemption or appeal status | Board of Assessors | Use online self-service or the customer care line. |

| Deed or land record | Clerk of Court | Use deed and land-record services. |
| Assessment appeal | Assessors’ Office and selected appeal route | File online, by mail or in person within 45 days. |
Annual notices and Georgia assessment issues
Property owners can appeal value, taxability or uniformity. The Board of Assessors reviews the appeal before it proceeds to the chosen route. An appeal of personal property, aircraft or watercraft uses the dedicated personal-property filing option.
A temporary partial tax bill can be issued before the appeal is complete. The Tax Commissioner calculates the final bill after the appeal result.
Gwinnett exemptions and personal property
Exemptions are managed by the county’s assessment and tax offices according to the program. Business inventory, watercraft and aircraft are handled by the Personal Property Appraisal team.
- The Assessor does not accept appeals by email or fax.
- Online appeals must be submitted by 11:59 PM on the deadline.
- Mail appeals must be postmarked by the deadline.
- Open-record requests are coordinated through the county’s online portal.
Gwinnett County property appeals
The filing period is 45 days from the annual notice date. A letter identifying the property and disagreement can qualify if received or postmarked on time, but the online tools provide the clearest confirmation.
Appeal grounds include value, taxability and uniformity. Keep the confirmation or use trackable mail. If continuing after a Board of Equalization decision, follow the 30-day continuance instructions.
Property-tax bills and payments
The Tax Commissioner can issue a partial temporary bill equal to the lesser of the prior-year value or 85% of the current value while an appeal is pending. Pay the temporary bill by its due date.
Payment questions go to the Tax Commissioner property-tax line at 770-822-8800, not the Assessor customer-care line.
Deeds, ownership and recorded-document research
The Clerk of Court handles deed and land records. Use those records to research recorded ownership, not the Assessor’s current owner display alone.
Common lookup problems
- Appeals sent by email or fax are not accepted.
- An online filing must be completed by 11:59 PM on the deadline.
- A temporary tax bill is not proof that the appeal ended.
- Personal-property appeals use a different online form.
- Allow up to three business days for an Assessor email response.
Buyer and homeowner checks
- Review the latest annual notice and appeal status.
- Check the exemption position and likely buyer eligibility.
- Search Clerk land records for deed and lien information.
- Verify the tax balance with the Tax Commissioner.
- Confirm property attributes before relying on comparable sales.
County-specific bottom line
Gwinnett’s online tools are strong, but the appeal method rules are strict: no email or fax, and the 45-day notice deadline controls.
