Georgia taxes 40% of fair market value: at DeKalb County’s typical unincorporated millage of 34.42 mills, the median home’s bill is roughly $3,456/year ($288/month) after the standard homestead exemption — county and school exemptions vary and can lower it; inside a city, add the city millage. Georgia homeowners insurance runs well below Florida’s coastal premiums for most of the state; get a quote on the specific address, since roof age and wind exposure still move it. All in, budget on the order of $1,611/month to own the median Stone Mountain home.
