Property Tax Bills Across Lilly, Dooly County, Georgia

How are property tax bills calculated in Lilly, Dooly County, Georgia?

Property tax bills in Lilly are based on the assessed value of a home, which is typically a percentage of its market value, and the local tax rate set by Dooly County and other taxing authorities. The bill is calculated by multiplying the assessed value by the applicable millage rate, then applying any exemptions or credits that may reduce the amount owed. Because the tax bill depends on both value and rate, two homes with similar market prices can still have different bills if they are assessed differently or fall under different taxing jurisdictions.

For homeowners in Lilly, this means property taxes can change when market conditions shift or when local rates are adjusted. With a median home price of $37,550, bills can vary widely, from $191 at the 25th percentile to $713 at the 75th percentile and $833 at the 90th percentile. Understanding how assessed value and local rates work can help homeowners better anticipate what they may owe each year.
