<p>Understanding Property Taxes, From an Experienced Realtor’s Perspective</p><p>Property taxes can feel confusing, but they play a major role in what you actually pay to own a home. Taxes are based on assessed value, not purchase price, and they can change after a sale, renovations, or county reassessments. I help my clients look beyond the list price to understand current taxes, likely adjustments, exemptions you may qualify for, and how all of this impacts your monthly budget long-term. Knowing the numbers upfront helps you avoid surprises and make smarter buying decisions.</p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://goodtobehomemag.com/real-estate/buying-selling/understanding-property-taxes-and-how-they-affect-you/?ts=1765911790122&cb=MTg0ODU0OA==&rm_product=13&utm_source=cam">Read More>></a></p><p> </p><h2><span style="font-size:17px;">Shawna Benoit • Associate Broker, REALTOR®</span></h2><h2><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://shawnabenoit.atlcommunities.com/"><span style="font-size:17px;">Atlanta Communities Real Estate</span></a></h2><p> </p><p><span style="font-size:17px;">Mobile: </span><a href="tel:6785227743"><span style="font-size:17px;">678.522.7743</span></a></p><p><span style="font-size:17px;">Office: </span><a href="tel:7702402005"><span style="font-size:17px;">770.240.2005</span></a></p><p><span style="font-size:17px;">Email: </span><a href="mailto:Shawna@ShawnaBenoithomes.com"><span style="font-size:17px;">Shawna@ShawnaBenoithomes.com</span></a></p><p><span style="font-size:17px;">Website: </span><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://shawnabenoit.atlcommunities.com/"><span style="font-size:17px;">shawnabenoit.atlcommunities.com</span></a></p><p> </p>
