Help is available for homeowners in southwest and northwest Atlanta who noticed their property values spike.

Workshops starting this week will show residents what to do if county appraisals, mailed last month, seem too high.

The sessions are targeted toward once low-income neighborhoods that are seeing significant new development because of the Atlanta BeltLine trail.
