Coleman v. Montgomery County

Ruffin, Judge.

W. L. Coleman and Three Rivers Estates, Inc. (“Coleman”) owned property in Montgomery County, Georgia, near the point where the confluence of the Ocmulgee and Oconee Rivers creates the Altamaha *277River. In 1995, Coleman filed suit against Montgomery County and, pursuant to OCGA § 48-5-380, sought a refund of property taxes paid on this property in 1990, 1991, 1992, and 1993. The trial court granted summary judgment to the County, finding Coleman’s complaint did not state a cause of action under the statute. Coleman appeals, and we affirm.
