Why this is the lever

O.C.G.A. §48-5-311

Under O.C.G.A. §48-5-311(e)(1)(A), uniformity of assessment is an express ground of appeal: when a property is assessed above the assessments of genuinely comparable properties, the county Board of Equalization can bring it in line. Filing is free, the appeal is due 45 days from the county's annual assessment notice, and the county's own assessed values are the evidence.
