The Fulton County
tax assessors office is being sued by Elton John.
The
singer claims that his 12,000 square foot condo located
in the very trendy and always hopping Buckhead
district of Atlanta was inaccurately assessed.
The tax assessors valued the condo at $4.6
million, John believes it is only worth $3.7 million.
This difference
in assessments could mean an additional $16,000 a year in
taxes for John. If John looses his case he can expect
to pay $77,250 a year to the government, according to
the AP.
John is not the
first to complain about the Fulton County tax assessors.
Last year an audit of the office resulted in three of
the five assessors resigning, and chief appraiser
stepping down from his post.
