Paulding County assessors recognize court consent order, deny refund per staff recommendation, approve covenant and audits
Summary
At its May 27 meeting the Paulding County Board of Tax Assessors recognized a Superior Court consent order resolving a 2025 appeal (Carlin), acted on a refund request per staff recommendation, approved a 10.04-acre covenant continuation for the Adomniks, and approved personal property audit assessments for J.C. Penney and Marshalls.
The Paulding County Board of Tax Assessors on May 27 recognized a Superior Court consent order dismissing a 2025 petition for review in the matter of Gene & Brian Carlin (Account 10158), recording a resolved value of $451,150 as presented by Chief Appraiser James Stokes, Jr.
The board also considered a refund claim from April L. Martin (Account 39582) for tax years 2023–2025. The minutes list the staff recommendation as “Disapprove.” Chairman Johnny McBurrows moved to approve the staff recommendation and Member Gary Griswell seconded; the board voted 5–0. The minutes do not include a separate clarifying line that restates the board’s motion in different words, so the meeting record should be read as the board voting to adopt the staff recommendation (which is recorded as “Disapprove”).
Member Gary Griswell moved to approve staff recommendation on a covenant continuation application for Jeremy G. & Rachel Adomnik (Account 90963) covering 10.04 acres; Vice-Chairman Ben Amerson seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
Chief Appraiser Stokes presented personal property audit results with accompanying 45-Day Change of Assessment Notices for Penny OPCO, LLC (DBA J.C. Penney, Account P26770) and Marshalls of MA, Inc. (DBA Marshalls, Account P13154). Vice-Chairman Ben Amerson moved to approve the audit results as presented; the board voted 5–0.
Why it matters: recognition of a court consent order finalizes an appeal for the named accounts; adoption of staff refund recommendations and approval of audits and covenant continuations have direct administrative and fiscal consequences for the affected taxpayers and accounts. The minutes record unanimous board action on these routine administrative items.
The meeting closed after the listed approvals and the minutes were signed by Board Secretary Deanna Morrison.
